Maybe some WR prospect. But not Teo!

That would actually ruin the draft for me

Yeah, I just saw that Shefter report, too.

I think they should pull the trigger to draft Patterson or Hunter.

But for Te'o? That's a tough one.. I hope it's our later 4th rounder as well.

Per the trade value chart, it matches up with the NE pick's value.

I mean, if they want to get back into the 1st, fine, but giving up their 2nd, 3rd, and a 4th? I don't care who they are targeting - that's too much. Way too much.

Yeah, but you have to also draft guys that fit your system (unless you plan on adjusting) or who you think can fit it. I'm not saying he's going to be a bust, I'm just saying his background does not inspire confidence in a zone scheme. My excitement is tempered for this pick until I see how he's used and how he fits.

I realize this is only one site but CBS had Floyd rated 9th over all and Rhodes rated 17th. Sure sounds like GREAT value at 23 and 25 plus fills positions of need.

Pats eager to trade down. Reports out Vikes GM pulled out of a press conference to go to war room. If Vikes make move, like for Te'o
