So what do they have now, 5 of the top 100 picks?
I have to think that Belichick is going to trade at least 2 of them... and he can't trade #97
You mean a great draft...

I think the big one (obv) is the #3. It is the first one after the regular #3s and should in a spot to land someone decent.
As pointed out, I also believe BB will be moving some picks (can't move these new ones, but...). He always does - he has many in this draft - he has quite a few quality players and therefore limited spots.
I'd personally like to see them move one the the 2s for a 1st next year (maybe someone who thinks they're a playoff team would figure it's not that much diff).
Bottom line : as much as I enjoy the potential to add to the squad, I need to believe more will be used on D than O. I'm not choosy - it can be anywhere on D. Even the DL that some will say is of quality. They will be moving Seymour (or letting him move himself) eventually, I have to believe.
Pays to lose players, while it could be argued that Samuel would had greatly improved the 08 version of the New England Patriots.
First round = 1
Second round = 3
Third round = 2*
Fourth round = 1
Fifth round = 2*
Sixth round = 2*
Seventh round = 1
Since the roster is stacked with players that won't likely be traded or released, I find it hard to deal with so many picks this year. So the obvious solution is to trade off a ton of picks. Here is hoping that a the Pats come out of this draft with 1.) a grip of legitimate talent and/or 2.) a ton of ammo, aka picks, for the 2010 draft. 2 first rounders in 2010 would be amazing.

I would say OL can use some upgrades. This line as is will have trouble against strong D lines the likes of Giants, Steelers, and Cowboys.
One minor correction. The Patriots have only the compensatory pick inPays to lose players, while it could be argued that Samuel would had greatly improved the 08 version of the New England Patriots.
