In space no one can hear Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The Patriots are trying to move into the Top-10 of the draft, according to SI's Peter King. The Pats are believed to have offered their first-round pick and the middle of their three second-round picks for the Jags No. 8 overall pick, but Jacksonville turned it down. King does not believe the Pats are after Tyson Jackson despite his obvious fit as a 3-4 defensive end. The Pats' target is said to be a "surprise."

SKOOBY Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Curry, or one of the Smiths It's Curry, if he gets by the lions with the first pick he'll probably fall to 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 No way the Pats* have to give up that to move up to the top 10. Complete crap story. We all full well know that all Kraft as to do is ask Goodell and he'll be granted a supplemental 3a draft slot and be allowed to retain all their current picks because the Pats* had to deal with the devastating loss of Cassel.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Curry, or one of the Smiths I tend to agree. I would have thought Tyson Jackson because the contracts of Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork, and Jarvis Green all expire after this season. But the report states otherwise. Their offensive line play has gone down in the last two years. In the Super Bowl against the Giants they gave up five sacks and Brady was repeatedly hit. They're also worried about the fact that the contracts of three starters, Logan Mankins, Stephen Neal, and Nick Kaczur expire after this season. There was a lot of talk that New England needed to get more speed and athleticism in the back end of their defense. But I can't see them taking a defensive back or linebacker if they trade into the top ten. I think they must be targeting offensive line. Curry maybe.

dave mcbride Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I bet Pettigrew. They prioritize TEs in the draft (Graham, Watson), and they run a 2 TE set frequently. If they really believe he's going to be great - and a ton of people do, so it wouldn't be just them - why not take the plunge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apr. 24 - 12:29 pm et Source: SI.com Who would they be targeting? This is a false report. They could be talking to various teams that they may be interested, but there has been no actual trade purposed. I know this because no team, especially the Patsies, would be dumb enough to trade up into the top 10 without knowing what players will still be availible. This trade will not get any thought untill the Jags, or any team for that matter, are on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Actually their drafting at the top in the last few years have been mostly misses. Jerrod Mayo, Brandon Meriweather, and Logan Mankins would beg to differ. Meriweather had 4 INTs and 9 passes defensed last year - good numbers for a safety.

Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It is definitely not Curry. He is a much better fit as a 4-3 lineback. I would bet money that it is Pettigrew or Orakpo, if the report is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
