The official Patriots Draft thread!

[BradyFTW!]

looks like the Ravens are going for Oher. When do the Pats pick now?

 

[sieglo]

Patriots trade 23 to Baltimore for picks 26 (first round) and 162 this year (5th round).

Seems kind of lame considering no fifth rounder will even make the team.

 

[Maroney TD]

Trade is a good move if they get good value from a team looking to steal Oher

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

So, did we get the 26th pick?

 

[fumbrunner]

Is it matthews??

 

[Cramden]

That trade also prevented Buffalo from leapfrogging Baltimore for Oher.

 

[Angry Man]

So, did we get the 26th pick?

Yep along with pick 162. Pretty good move I say.

The trade tells me that Belichick has his binky. He's not worried that Barwin or maybe Donald Brown are going in the picks after 23.

use the 5th to move around in the 2nd?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Traded to Ravens- what did we get?

26 and a 5th rounder.

New England Patriots (realpatriots) on Twitter has been great for following the Pats so far.

My thoughts exactly. I think its time they focus on fewer but better picks.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Per twitter: STILL fielding trade offers for #26!

I second that feeling, big time.

(OT: Whats with the database problems?)

More players means more competition. Also as has been said, fifth can be used to maneuver in the 2nd.

matthews,butler,barwin all remaining...assuming one goes to miami

 

[SaCaCh]

I am thinking RB

 

[BradyFTW!]

Pats back on the clock...
