While frustrating for sure, one thing to consider is the idea of it being a better QB class next year in 2020. The #32nd pick may indeed be traded, but it won’t be for a third rounder (giving us four, plus the two seconds) and a ham sandwich. It will be for a third rounder and an additional first rounder for next year.Yes, BB will trade down for sure, if for no other reason than he knows that I have been sitting there all night watching the rest of the first round and that buffoon Roger Goodell with baited breath wondering/anticipating/ready to jump up and down to hear and see the words, "with the 32nd pick, the Patriots select.....!!!!!" (and it will flash across the bottom of the screen "the Patriots have traded the 32nd pick to [fill in loser team] for a 3rd rounder and a ham sandwich next year).
Truth. This has happened to me more than once...
When you factor in the 3 third rounders for 2020 (from the losses of Brown + Flowers), having multiple firsts seems like another year of being stockpiled.
As far as Thursday and Friday go, we keep hearing how deep the second and third rounds are, so having 6 total picks in the top 100 selections PLUS an additional first for 2020 may end up better than “just” having the 6 picks that we’re scheduled for now.
Belichick rewards our patience on Thursday night one way or the other.
