What's the consensus of thought here.... would this be a good time to dangle the Raiders first round pick out there and see what it might catch?

Nowhere. He made it up.

Boston sports is cursed. Really, they are.Come on, the injury bug already completely decimated the Sox and now their going to start decimating the Pats before the season even starts? WTF.
The injuries the last few years have been awful.
Brady all of '08
Welker heading into the playoffs in '09
The Sox starters going into the playoff's in '08
KG for the Celtics in '08
Perk in the playoffs in '09
Half the Sox all-stars in '10
and it's already starting for the Pats here in '10.
whole league been decimated by injuries this preseason. i think it actually supports 18 game season more. if players gonna get torn to shreds anyways may as well have the games count.

What a gut punch. This is going to be one young secondary, hopefully BB can scheme ways to get to the QB to take some pressure off them.

Not to mention there is no season saving CB available for trade anyway.
Curse? 6 Titles in 10 years.
No curse. The check has simply come due.
How about I just KILL you?
*Edit: Smiley Face.
The only corners who would even have at netting that Raiders 1st rounder are Darell Revis, Nnamdi Assfacemugha, and maybe DRC if Bell Belichick was having an off day. There's no way that 1st rounder is getting traded, especially for a quick fix player who they only need because Bodden is injured.Dont expect another team to offer anyone to the Pats unless they get something solid in return...like the raiders first round pick next year.
I agree that Merriweather was a CB coming out of college but i don't expect to see BB taking him off the safety position. I expect that BB will go with the CB's as they now are and will attempt to land one from the cuts coming down soon.

Jesus H Christ is on IR too?
Lost in the discussion of Bodden being put on IR, is that Daryl Richard is going there too. He has not been mentioned too prominently in camp, but in a breakthrough he played in the Rams game and recorded a sack.
His loss and both Ty Warren's and Kade Westons's IR earlier reduces the Defensive line count to 7 contestants if I'm not mistaken.
There was internal discussion that the Pats would keep 7 Defensive linemen and they now have them. Warren, Wilfork, Wright, Brace, Lewis Pryor and Deadrick.
Whew! The amount of kool-aid-drinking, whistling past the graveyard posting on this thread is simply stunning. Looking to next year before the season even begins comes across as some twisted form of fair-weather fandom. Anybody who thinks that McCourty wouldn't learn almost as well and the team be much better off with him as a situational substitute is delusional. Next year, Moss will likely go the way of other expensive, aging free agents. Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, Faulk, Neil, and Light will be further over the hill or gone. New Flash: If you intend to be competitive year-in and year-out, every year is a bridge year, unless you get lucky. When your execution and luck are good enough, your bridge year can turn into a Superbowl year. Just exploit your strengths and scheme around your weaknesses and fight until things break your way. A mediocre pass rush plus inexperienced secondary make this year a big challenge, but that doesn't mean things will be any better next year. Three of our studs - Bodden, Warren, and Mankins - are gone. Suck it up and figure out how we deal with it this year. Don't waste your time imagining it's a blessing in disguise. Yeesh.
