Final Mock Draft 2.0 (With Trade)

[TylerVagyler]

When looking at potential trade partners I realized that none of us have a clue and anything can happen. With that said, here is a mock in which the Patriots package their 2 first round picks to move up into the top 10.

Patriots get:

Round 1: #9

Round 5: #143

Panthers get:

Round 1: #27

Round 1: #31

Round 3: #93

Round 1 (#27)

Nick Perry, DE/USC

Round 1 (#31)

Stephon Gilmore, CB/South Carolina

Round 2 (#40)

Zach Brown, LB/UNC

Round 3 (#93)

Bruce Irvin, LB/West Virginia

Round 4 (#104)

Juron Criner, WR/Arizona

Round 6 (#180)

James Hanna, TE/Oklahoma

Round 6 (#207)

Nick Jean-Baptiste, DT/Baylor

Round 7 (#216)

Shawn Powell, P/Florida State

I'd like it though I don't see us getting that lucky. I'm a huge Nick Perry fan and I alost wouldn't even be against taking him at 9.

[Ken]

Don't see Gilmore dropping all the way down to #31. See him going in the teens.

Would love to trade back but those two #1's are too far down.

Love the players you have us taking though.

[JawnyBlaze]

Eh, like most of it. Perry's good and all, but I'd rather avoid players even close to the "tweener" label with our first pick. I'd be much happier with this if that #27 was spent on one of the DTs (Brockers, Cox, Poe, Still, Worthy, one of them will be available there) or even Kendall Wright. I wouldn't hate the Perry pick, but I'd have my reservations. Like the rest of it though.

[TylerVagyler]

I went with Perry because of his pass-rush ability. We need that more than anything, imo.

[koolkatluke]

I could live with this draft.

[Dash Global]

no way in hell the pats do this! they have the perfect picks!

but man switch out Perry for Worthy and Gilmore for Jenkins to go along with the rest and this is a BEAST draft!

[carolina-chuck]

Really nice draft.

I just dont really like Perry, bc again hes an undersized DE.

Gillmore may also be gone way before #31.

I wish we could trade down with the Pats though, it was be awesome.

Good mock though!

Good mock though!

He's 270-275 pounds. He can easily put on 10-15 pounds of muscle with his frame. FWIW, Jason Pierre Paul is 278 pounds...

Perry is 6'3". JPP is 6'5".

[C47]

Perry is 6'3". JPP is 6'5".

And CJ, Jason Babin, Chris Long, Chris Clemons, Trent Cole, and Cliff Avril all are 6'3 or shorter....

The only snag, it's that the pats don't trade UP.

As I said in my mock with this exact same trade a few months ago, Pat's I believe will be much more likely to trade up now. There is less of a financial risk involved now that there is the rookie cap, and the Patriots need to maximize the time they have left with Tom Brady. They need guys to come in and make an impact now, to make the best use of Tom Brady's 3-4 years left, not late first round guys that will take a year or two to develop into good starters.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I understand your logic. But I don't see who they would get in the ninth pick that's worth trading for. Especially 2 firsts. If this happens I'd love it. But the chances are very slim.
