And So It Begins...

Peter King says the Patriots want to jump up into the Top 10 and the Packers are a possible trading partner. King says the object of their affection isn't known, other than to say it would be a 'surpise'. Apparently the Pats dangled their first and one of their second round picks to the Jags at  and the Jags said no. 

It's hard to say Thompson should take this without seeing how the Top 5 shakes out and of course, that's what the Patriots want. I know I've been yammering on and on about Thompson needing to trade back  if the opportunity presents itself, but I think Thompson should hold off until the draft is unfolding before pulling the trigger on this or any other deal.

 

UPDATE: Word is the Patriots are tageting Malcolm Jenkins.

"I think Thompson should hold off until the draft is unfolding before pulling the trigger on this or any other deal."

That's basically the way draft day trades work, isn't it? Teams set up trades with each other the week before the draft, based on certain conditions. On draft day, if the conditions are met, the teams contact each other to complete the trade.

I know I read this somewhere but I can't find the article.

Man, I couldn't find it for the life of me until I hit 'Submit.' But here's the link to the article I was talking about earlier: http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d80fdd012&template=without-...

You're correct, of course. Just very leery of dealing with the Pats...

Listening to the radio today, it sounds like Sanchez wont make it past 8 or 9.
