Among the more interesting tidbits -- the Pats tried to move up to #22 in last year's draft to take WR Mark Clayton, but the Ravens, at 22 themselves, took him.
"EXTRA POINT: The Patriots attempted to trade to the 22nd pick in last year's draft, according to this Baltimore Sun report (registration might be required). Speaking on draft-day dealings, Eric DeCosta -- the director of college scouting for the Baltimore Ravens -- said the Ravens received an on-the-clock call from the Patriots expressing their interest in selecting receiver Mark Clayton. The Ravens ended up picking Clayton, while the Patriots stayed put at 32 and selected offensive lineman Logan Mankins. In six drafts under Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli, the Patriots haven't selected a receiver in the first round."
