As I just posted in another topic, we could end up with...
2 first round picks (Cassel trade)
3 second round picks (Cassel trade)
2 third round picks (Samuel compensatory)
If we get a 1 and 2 for Cassel. I doubt if they will both be this year. I wouldn't be shocked if we got a 2 this year, and a conditional pick next year based on his performance and team he gets traded to.

Last season was a youth movement on defense, this season looks to have some of that again - isn't that what so much of the fuss has been about in recent years? That said I'm expecting the Pats to use some of those day two picks to move around the board for players they want. I'm also expecting NE to move at least one early pick forward to 2010 where there projects to be a better pool of 3-4 DL.No matter what the situation comes down to, look for many trades to happen. I don't think this team will hold much more than five rookies on its roster, depending on what the older vets do.
If they can get two defensive and maybe one offensive starter from this draft, plus two rotational guys, that would be awesome. I just don't want a repeat of 2007, with a ton of draft picks that disappeared.
I saw his name on the NFL Draft Scout 2010 DT ranking and he was part of the pool I'm looking at when I consider moving a Day One/3rd round pick forward to 2010.Here's a name to keep an eye on next year Box. Jared Odrick - DT - PSU.
He has that tall almost lanky build. But, looks to be about 6'5" 300lb. Good
athlete. Very tough at point of attack. Enough of an athlete to get a push on
pass rush too. I was hoping Maybin/Evans returned to give PSU a defesive line
reminiscent of the B.Clark/M. Millen line. But, the de's left early.

Break it down position by position including reserves and two-way players and then consider that you've got a couple more years of high flying offense so lay it on the line and work to develop your D to carry you through the next O transition...I agree with more youth (I'm Master of the Obvious), I'm just not sure how many rookies would effectively improve the team in 2009, especially with returning players who didn't get a full year in: Wheatley, Crable, Ruud.
