Patriots trade 23 to Baltimore for picks 26 (first round) and 162 this year (5th round).

Seems kind of lame considering no fifth rounder will even make the team.

Maroney TD · Apr 25, 2009

Trade is a good move if they get good value from a team looking to steal Oher

PatsFaninAZ · Apr 25, 2009

So, did we get the 26th pick?

fumbrunner · Apr 25, 2009

Is it matthews??

Cramden · Apr 25, 2009

That trade also prevented Buffalo from leapfrogging Baltimore for Oher.

Yep along with pick 162. Pretty good move I say.

The trade tells me that Belichick has his binky. He's not worried that Barwin or maybe Donald Brown are going in the picks after 23.

use the 5th to move around in the 2nd?

26 and a 5th rounder.

New England Patriots (realpatriots) on Twitter has been great for following the Pats so far.

My thoughts exactly. I think its time they focus on fewer but better picks.

Per twitter: STILL fielding trade offers for #26!

I second that feeling, big time.

More players means more competition. Also as has been said, fifth can be used to maneuver in the 2nd.

SaCaCh · Apr 25, 2009
