Watt is not the flavor of the month. He is the 2011 binky of this board, the 2011 Connor Barwin.
In any case, I don't expect the patriots to trade up high enough to get Watt or for him to reach 17.
BTW, I find it even strange to consider Belichick trading up to take a Condon client in the middle of a labor negotiations and the strong possibility that they would have to negotiate with Condon or his lackeys.
Yes, if Watt fell into Belichick's hands, he would likely take him (but probaly not instead of Jordan). I would note that, FWIW, Rob Rang and Chad Reuter over at CBSSports both have Watt available to us at 17; and both of them had us passing on Watt (for Jordan and Smith).
I agree with all of these statements, and you have provided reasons as to why I agree that he will NOT be a NE Patriot this year. None of them have anything to do with his talent level, I just do not believe he is a good fit due to many of these reasons.
