So the Patriots are apparently looking for a #1 pick in 2011.

and 2nd and a 3rd is way too much unless they are both very late in the round.

We got a 2nd and a fourth in 2009, and even if the Patriots traded us 47, that's later than what San Fran traded us.

If THEY'RE looking for a 2011 pick, they obviously are putting more value on it than we anticipated there would be.

Both of their 2nd rounders wouldn't be out of question.

But again, that's IF the Patriots are actively pursuing another first in 2011.

Patriots have three second rounders I thought...toss in two of those and maybe a fifth rounder and I'll take it. Even without the fifth, not a bad deal if its the two picks ahead of us they have.

Draft up a McCoy and a Tate/Benn in the second, focus on building depth with the rest of the draft. I could see it.

BUT....I just don't see it happening.

Uh... no?

We've got plenty of compensatory picks this year. If we tank, we might need a high first rounder next year to help continue the rebuil... err... youth movement.

Hmm one mid/late rounder in a weak draft in 2011, or two 2nd round picks in a deep class in which most of these second rounders would be first rounders in most years.

GOLLY I'M SO CONFLICTED.

You are correct.

Plus were going to get a comp 3rd for Peppers next season. So we'll have 2 3rd's next draft.. I don't see the big deal in trading out of a weak 1st round and into a deep 2nd round filled to the brim with 1st round talent.

    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
    • Me, signing up for FanDuel Network, and then canceling FanDuel Network:
    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
