I think they are certainly putting out feelers as part of their due diligence in case a player drops and they can trade up for value but it's the perfect storm that somebody like Dallas will take under value such as 17 + 74 for 9 and that the player(s) they are targeting make it there. Certainly they could easily recoup 74 later by using 28 and 33 which should be sweet-spots in this draft.
Breer speculated that their isn't that elite player who will be worth trading up from 17 to 9 or 10 as rumored so the Pats will likely trade down to the mid 20's furthering their position of strength to pick up the players they want there with no drop off in talent while still being able to trade out of 28 and\or 33. I think this is likely and if they went say Wilkerson with one pick and traded into next year with another and picked up any of OLB\OT\OG\WR with the 3rd it would be fine with me. That would still leave them a ton of other picks to fill in the roster.
