[libalu53]

Hello Gents,

Other than SF's 1st round pick, what additionally pics do the Pats have in 08?
Can seem to find the info.

Appreciated, Bill D.

Oakland's 3rd round pick.

Is that all? a 1st and 3rd round pic?
2&4 are gone correct? how about the later rounds?

What happened to their second and fourth?

We were penalized them for the terrible Maroney pick.

I don't think that's correct. If we had not made the playoffs I believe that we would have lost our 2nd and 3rd round picks.

I found this at Patriots Insiders. I think it's ok to post it, it is part of the official release from the Commissioner.

In addition, Commissioner Roger Goodell also notified the Patriots that they would forfeit their own first-round draft choice in 2008 if they reach the playoffs, or their own second-round and third-round picks if they do not qualify for the playoffs, and that the club would be fined $250,000.

Well we obviously made the playoffs, so, we will still have our 2nd and 3rd round picks.

Oh brother...........

The reality:

We have all our picks except the first round.
We have SF's first round.
We have Oakland's 3rd round.

We very likely won't get any compensatory picks.

That's 8 picks total.

Don't forget the penalty for being classless, I think that's a fifth rounder.

When and how did we acquire Oakland's 3rd? I don't remember this at all...

Nevermind. Decided not to be lazy and look it up myself: http://officialnewenglandpatriots.w...8/patriots-trade-third-round-pick-to-oakland/

Good link. I didn't realize that SF had Indy's 1st this year. I have seen some conjecture about trading SF their pick back for Willis (I think). That would be an interesting idea if they through in Indy's #1 and maybe a 3rd or 4th also.

Right now I think the Pats have about 10m in available cap space next year. It will difficult to sign the #2 pick and resign Moss or Samuel.

It is going to be an interesting off season for sure, but that's something to think about after the season

Wow. High high 1st rounder; late 2nd rounder; High high 3rd rounder; late 3rd rounder. What a first day this will be!

What happened to their second and fourth?

The media petitioned the league for their removal due to a coach that outsmarted them all the time.

Wasn't this thrown in to sweeten the pot for taking Randy Moss off their hands

Wow. High high 1st rounder; late 2nd rounder; High high 3rd rounder; late 3rd rounder. What a first day this will be!

Actually, only the 1st and 2nd rounders will be day one picks. Starting in '08, Rounds one and two are Saturday, and three through seven are Sunday.

I will be willing to put some cash on the line that we do not use this pick, we will trade it to another team for a later 1st this year and a second next year.. this will really piss off Goodell.

With all the talent on this team, I don't think any players after the second round have a shot at making it. So in my opinion, Belichick ought to use every single pick from the third round on to draft punters in the hope we get lucky and find a good one.

I didn't realize this. OK, what an interesting first 3 rounds this will be. And even if we manage to dump off the SF pick, that counts as interesting too.

This #2-5 pick will not be that easy to unload, I think.

Does Hanson suck that much

If the Pats go 19-0, I see at least three guys hanging up their cleats. That doesnt even include Troy Brown. What a way to go out, as the greatest ever. That's three roster spots. The later rounds have produced some very good Patriots, so I wouldn't dismiss them being as active as in the past. I think the trading will take place in rounds 1 and 3.
