We can't get into the top 10, but we should be able to reach 13-15 if we wish to. It is quite possible to get a Top 10 value player who slipped a bit. If we use our higher second, we might get as high as 11-12.
Here's my list:
Curry LB Wake Forest
Raji DT BC
Maualuga LB (possibly)
Yes on Aaron Curry & BJ Raji
Maybe for a top OT - Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe
I don't understand how Denver not choking would affect us. If they had beaten SD and finished 9-7 and won the division we would still be picking #23. Only our 2nd round pick from SD would have moved up, not our 1st round pick.
This could change based on combine performances, further scouting info, and the Patriots free agency additions, but I would trade up for Everette Brown, Aaron Curry, and possibly Jason Smith.
I like BJ Raji as a player, but I question whether he's what the Patriots are looking for in a 3-4 nose. It seem like he's more of a penetrator, even at his size, than a block eater. I have seen some reports even call him a 3 technique in a 4-3.

I would not trade the #23 and and a second to move up to 14; but i would consider a 1st and 3rd to move up to 19 or so is somene is falling...
