So about that 1st rounder in 2016....

better than being stuck on what kraft could have done

Well, that like the complaints is a merry go round. We're all Patriots.

It is...

But it must suck when we draft the GOAT at Rd 6, an all around elite Lb like Collins in the 2nd, and we get a lockdown CB that went undrafted in Butler.

The league must get so pissed!

No to mention a future HOF TE in the 2nd, Edelman in the 7th, best K in football in the 4th, a 5-time ST's pro-bowler in the 5th and the INT leader of the 2013 draft in the 3rd.

Wow you guys are brutal. How soon we forget that Kraft apologized for rolling over like an abused turtle in response to Roger's bullying. That heartfelt apology more than makes up for the agenda driven theft of 2 draft picks.

Sure Kraft continues to act like a spineless jellyfish but what more do you people want than an awesome apology? Testicular fortitude and righting a blatant wrong are vastly overrated anyway.

God, it must be brutal for you to watch this team.....how do you get yourself through it?

Yup, no first rounder this year for the simple fact that Krafty Bob wanted to keep his seat at the big boy's table...
I am very curious as to whether or not the Patriots still hold their $$$ ticketed draft soirée down at Jonathan City. If they still have that event, I pity the lemmings that shell out $$$ for that & spend $$$ on concessions.
Holding that draft event would be a pretty big slap in the face to the fans....

So would it be possible for the Pats to arrange a deal with another team involving their first round pick? I'm thinking the other team drafts a player the Pats are interested in and then that player is traded to the Pats for say Chandler Jones or other assets.

Either that, or the Patriots can still try and trade someone (like your example of Jones) away for a 1st rounder.

They wouldn't be able to select above their spot of 29, however; although in this exercise, I don't really think we'd be losing anything. It isn't like Jones would've brought in a top 20 pick in the first place.
