Patriots have talked to the Panthers about a draft day trade

[vorbis]

for the record, Fitterer said they had talked to five teams about trading down at different points in the draft. so not necessarily 5 options to move down from #8. though I imagine they’ll be able to find 5 options there this week before it’s said and done.

Probably would be #1 cb on our team

Maybe, but that doesn’t mean it’s good allocation of cap space/assets.

The nice thing is that this becoming public means that we could even get a bonus pick from say Denver moving from 9 to 8 to block NE or get a haul from WFT to again prevent losing their guy to NE. This is good to hear it get out, definitely helps us.

Thats the only scenario where I would move back.  Unless NE is going to give us like 3 1rsts (which they wont) then for Gods sake stay at 8 and get a high end tackle.

I don't really want us to trade down that far.

It'd have to be a damn good trade package, and you don't often get that from the Patriots.

Exactly.

This is actually my prediction that I made a week or 2 ago. I would only do it for something like a 2 this year and a 1 next year, though.

And he talked about the Panthers averaging 6.2 picks per draft vs. the league average 8.1.  Unless a certain player is there (SEWELL) we are probably trading down.

You bring it all together.  Denver, New England, Washington, and Chicago (9-20) all have no real options like we do at QB.  9, 15, 19, 20.  Do not forget, Philly and Minnesota could decide to get a QB--

So if Miami and Detroit take non QBs, OH MY.

I mean how do you think these trades get done so quickly on Draft day(s)?

Teams have already put feelers out and know what it'd take to move up. Patriots and Panthers are just doing their due diligence.

Hard to believe we like Darnold that much though. I'm sure we want to see who falls to #8.

I don’t even think we like Darnold that much, we’re just in an awkward state. We’re a year away and an 8-8 team regardless of what happens. Better to keep acquiring talent than to take shot on a QB.

I see us holding onto Donald. I don't see us getting much for Bridgewater bc they know we don't want him and will probably release him. But if I gotta pay him, he'd stay on the roster.

Yep. I want their 1st and 2nd this year and 1st and 2nd next year to do that deal.

Patriots get: 2021 1st round, 8th overall; Teddy Bridgewater

Panthers get: 2021 1st round, 2021 3rd round, 2022 2nd rounder, Cam Newton. 

 

lol had to be the one. 

[Chief Keek]

Trade back for 2021 1st, 2nd, 2022 1st, 2023 1st, and Cam. Cam becomes a Panther again, everybody wins?

Patriots will not trade up they will trade back. The media always attempts to predict what Patriots will do but they never get it right, Bill is always ahead of the game.
