Chargers could take advantage of Patriots' desire for draft move - SignOnSanDiego.com
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, "word is" the Patriots are already shopping the No. 28 overall pick in the draft.
The Pats have two first-round picks and two second-rounders, and a long history of moving all over the draft board in an effort to acquire even more. The Union-Trib notes Chargers GM A.J. Smith's "history of partnering with Belichick" in draft-weekend trades, and reports that "the idea (of moving to No. 28) is intriguing" to Smith. New England's pick at No. 33 overall is also likely in play, but may not officially be until the first round is over on the night of April 28 and morning of April 29.
The Chargers have the 18th, 50th, 61st, 82nd and 89th picks this year. That, along with next year’s picks (which Belichick always seems to like to stockpile) gives the Chargers the ability to target a player at No. 28 and go for it. Smith also has a history of doing that.
