It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I highly doubt the Patriots get a 3rd for any player they'd be willing to trade. The board tends to overvalue guys, when the reality is most who are traded go for relatively low draft picks. So we aren't trading Mauroney for a 3rd unfortunately.
That said I could see them trade down from one of their 2nds, i.e. 2 3rds or a 3rd and a 2nd in 2011 for their 2nd.
With a deep draft this year, it seems the more picks the better. How do you feel the Pats most logical and likely approach would be to getting a third rounder this year be? Would it be trading back or trading a current player? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
If BB trades out of the 1st round (very likely) he could get a high 2nd and 3rd.
If this happens I'm going to rip my hair out. Trading down and out of the first round is inexcusable in this draft.
I'd get use to the idea because honestly i'll be surprised if he doesnt
I'm sure NE will sit tight at #22 and watch how things progress. When mocking out round one for my trade mock I could see some players sliding who might tempt BB to move up - that said, once you get out of the top 15 there's really only one or two players who would suit when you factor in need/value. Trading out of round one again could very well prove to be the best move, though I'm not too interested in trading ahead in 2011 based on how I'm seeing that draft class develop.How about we just trade all of our picks to the second and third rounds IMO we fine right where we are unless somebody slips Id stay at the spots we are at. This draft is deep but with four picks in the first 2 rounds why would you push your picks back. The first and second rounds are where the talent are this year and a few prospects will slip into the third but it doesn't mean the third round this year will be deeper than the third round last year. Id be perfectly happy if we made just 2 first round picks and a second as opposed to 4 in the second and 1 in the third. I highley doubt we hit on all 5 picks so I say go solid and pick early with safer prospects with good upside as opposed to a JPP who is raw and probably wont develop into a playmaker year one.
If you keep trading out of the first round, over time you end up with a jag defense just like they have. I'm as big a BB fan as anybody but even he needs a few thoroughbreds. This roster has at most 11 legit NFL starters.

I have the package. It makes sense . It brings us a need and the Eagles a need.
Chris Cogong was misused in the 4-3. A little small for his hand down and not typical of a 4-3 SLB they tried to make him. His best position is in the 3-4 at OLB ala Vrable. He is young, fast enough at 4.7 for the job, 6' 2" and 262 pounds so he can set the edge and a RFA. Nobody knows why the Eagles drafted him for what they wanted him to do. He was the NCAA sack leader his senior year and showed great quickness at the combine. He has played reasonably well for the Eagles at the wrong positions and he is a very good Special Teams player.
The Eagles need a Safety. "His disciples" on this site will roast me for what I would trade because he has a All Pro status in their mind but I swap our later #48 and S James Sanders for the Eagles #70 and #87 picks in the 3rd round. According to the "superb" fictional NFL trade charts, #48 is worth 420pts and #70 and #87 are worth 395pts but a DE/OLB holds more value than a Safety. Sanders could work out real well for the Eagles. I think Gocong could be a steal.
We pick up what could be, an outstanding pass rushing OLB in our 3-4 scheme with enough size to play in BB's formula that could save us a "need" pick which can be dangerous, and with a very deep draft, two third rounders who can bring us much more value that just #48.
Sanders salary for what could be a back-up roster spot, is very high at $2.7m.
This deal just makes too much sense. Not just one third rounder but I could see our new starting OLB and a pair of thirds which could net us going back ten to #97 (this is according to CBS Sports.com NFL Draft) two of the following:

I don't know about what you all think but I an putting WD-40 on that trigger mechanism. Hello Chris, good bye James and I'll take two of those above. I would take Gerhart and Veldheer (what a combine for that kid). Some love Gilyard and some want Lane. Who would you take?

An agreed trade with the Eagles. Don't know what they tendered him but the can pull in prior to Friday if I am correct or they might not have tendered him as of yet.I'm confused, could you clear this up?
It's: Sanders and #48 for #70 and #87. Where does CoGong come from if he's restricted?
