What do the NEP do with the #23 pick?

[JoeShmoe]

What do you think we'll do with pick #23 on draft day?

I'm convinced we'll trade down from there either into the lower first or another second with a 2010

All of the above. I'm not voting, because I don't think we can predict what the Pats will do. I'd say there is a 50% chance they will stay at 23 because that appears to be around the sweet spot of the 1st round, and they may get good value there. I'd say there is a 25% chance they will trade back slight, either to the late 1st or early 2nd round. I'd rate the chance of moving up in the 1st round at about 10-15%, and the same for trading #23 into 2010 - about a 25% chance for those two options combined. I think that trading one of the 2nd rounders into 2010 is much more likely, unless we got a fantastic deal like 2003 (where we traded #19 for #36 plus a 2004 1st rounder).

It depends what offer we get; if any for this pick.
This year you may see a lot of trades imo and the Pats will do some dealing as well.

I think if they move, it will be up for someone who is falling (e.g. Brown, Jackson, Maualuga). I'm not sure who that might be, but someone BB has rated as top 15, whose value at 18-20 becomes great enough that we use some of our currency to make sure we get him.

If they did it, I would feel really good about that target, becuase BB doesn't throw draft picks around lightly.

Anything we do will be fine. There isn't a no-brainer pick at #23 that has to happen.

It all depends who is available at #23.
