Via Reiss, from the WEEI interview:
It's always refreshing to get an insider's view on the draft process. When most on this board thought there was a chance of the Pats moving out of that slot because of it's potential value, along comes Pioli to confirm that yes, 4 or 5 teams made solid offers. We'll need to keep this likely scenario in mind next time we have two first round picks. When might that be I wonder?
---How much action did you have for a trade with that 28th overall pick?
“There was quite a bit. We had a number of calls. I want to say we had at least four or five clubs willing to move up to that spot that had made solid offers to us. That’s why it’s good, especially in the first round when you have 15 minutes to make a decision on a pick, you’re getting a lot of information in -- not only during that 15 minutes but prior to the 15 minutes you’re on the clock. We have a pretty organized process that we go through when we receive trade calls. We put them up on the board, we talk to them. We felt the offer from San Francisco was probably the best value at that time.”
