Report: Two Comp Pick For Pats. Round 3,Round 5.

[Ring 6]

I think trading rookies puts the contract entirely (or almost entirely) on the team that drafted them. Thus, we rarely see rookies drafted earlier than round 6 traded. I think the Pats would have to overpay in trade compensation to convince a team to do such a thing.

You can't trade them until you sign them. They are part of your rookie pool for the cap so it makes it difficult.
I don't think ANY rookie draft picks have ever been traded not just earlier round guys

I was thinking about that.. I think that once the draft starts, the league can't enforce that rule because they will have already taken the Seattle 4th and things will be locked in. The league can't go adding the Seattle pick that the Patriots own back into the order just because the Patriots got a higher pick..Things will go totally nutty if that happens..

Yes they can.

Now the Pats couldn't do it last year because of cap ramifications, but imagine if a player BB likes, slides to the 4th pick in the 4th round.

If the Pats trade up, they lose the 4th pick immediately, but what if Team X drafts the player, and the Pats trade for him one day later.

What then Mr Omissioner?

We did it just 2 years ago with some LB whose name escapes me. He had been signed already and was with us for most of the summer.

I think you are incorrect.
Maybe we made the trade but I don't think he was a rookie draft pick.

My bad you are correct. It was matt wells, traded to the bears, now playing in cfl

Here final (before new trades) list of Pats picks that Miguel is going by




I think the first 7 are correct here . the seventh is still unclear which 7th DET pick Pats got in KVN trade - 239 or 250
