Patriots have talked to the Panthers about a draft day trade

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.

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.

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 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.

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