I have to think the answer is a big YES.
No question Law isn't in his prime anymore, but such a pre-draft signing I think would indicate that there's significantly less pressure on the team to use the #7 pick - and a good chunk of change that might have been spent on Samuel - on a CB.
Signing Ty Law I would think would send Mock Drafters scrambling to remove McKelvin as the most likely pick for the Pats.
I'm not saying we're done at CB with a Ty Law signing, and I still think you'd see the team drafting a CB - but not at #7.
But I've long felt, as I've heard other "experts" say that the CBs in the draft are not top 10 material - and haven't really felt BB would go in that direction at #7 regardless (trade back to the teens, then yes - but not at #7). So for me, if Law signs, I'm thinking there's no way we see a CB as the choice at #7.
What do others think?
