RUMOR: From the end of the Dan Patrick show About Ty Law and Sean Taylor

[XNOUGHT]

The Pats won't trade MORE then two picks to move up.

There is a reason NE has been quiet in FA. It is because they plan on fixing all their needs through the draft.

Smart move by them if thats the case.

I hope we take notes and have our full compliment of picks next year.

The Pats won't need to trade all the way up to the 5th pick overall to get the RB they need. They could just take Chris Perry with the 32nd pick of the draft.

actually i read somewhere that the Lions are thinking of taking Jackson and they pick 6th. that being said, if they wanted Jackson they would have to contact us or the Midgets.

It would be interesting to see what happens ... I wonder if the Pats would try to give us Law, their 2nd 1st round pick, their 2nd round picks and their 3rd round pick for our #5. That would enable them to get Sean Taylor and take a RB like Kevin Jones in the first round. It would give us a shut down CB, a 1st round pick, 2 second round picks and a 3rd round pick. We could draft Ben Troupe or Ben Watson with the #1 pick and get a RB and S or WR in the second round.

This goes back to my first response to this thread. If we ended up with Law, what do we do with Smoot? Although it's pure speculation, I have to believe any trade for Law would probably include Smoot. That's why it makes more sense to get BOTH #1 picks and Law for Smoot and our #5. I could see the Pats doing this if they really wanted Jackson and still were able to replace Law. Filling the RB and CB spots in the draft would be a lot more iffy for them. The key here would be the Pats extending Smoot and having Law agree with us before the trade could happen.

Is this trade far-fetched? Probably, although it does make some sense if Williams really wants to build the Defense from the outside in. Anyway this type of speculation is, as always, in good fun. If it did happen the way I put it, it would definitely be a first for me.

Stop being silly - where are we going to fit Law under the cap after already signing Portis, Brunell, Springs, Griffin, Daniels, Washington, Friedman, Raymer, Rasby, Brown, Harris, Tupa, and have four rfa's still unsigned, and our draft picks?

The NFL.com draft value board lists the Skins#5 being about the same value as the pats' 2 1st rounders #21 and #32 and their 2nd rounder #53. That's the deal I'd take.

[Jimbo]

Given the Pats' recent history, there's no way they would give up the top 3 picks even if it's for the #5. I could see them giving up the top 2 and possibly a 3rd or 4th but NOT their 2nd rounder too.

Somehow, the Pats almost HAVE to unload Law. If not us then I sure hope it's as far away from the NFC East as possible.

Jimbo, I think this may be a year where the Pats change their philosophy a bit. They have a ton of picks and a solid deep squad that doesn't need to add a ton of rookies. This may be the year they trade quantity for quality. They do need a rb and they have to do something about Law. But getting Taylor allows their current s to move to corner and cut law. With their other 2nd rounder they can get a good rb. They still have multiple other picks to fill out the roster. I don't think this is an impossible scenario.

[Jimbo]

Definitely not an impossible scenario at all. I would just be extremely surprised. It seems like an attractive deal on the surface but, unless we're just looking for depth and not a player who can make a difference, I don't know that I'd do it.

[inmate running the asylum]

You guys who think we will get Ty Law in a trade with the Pats, PU.......lease! No way are the Skins going to take on ANOTHER player represented by Carl Poston and more contract and cap headaches with the 30 year-old Ty Law. :doh: If Champ Bailey's contract was a problem for us, the big-mouth Ty Law makes Bailey look like Mother Teresa!

As for getting the Pats two #1 picks (21st & 32nd) and their #2 pick, its not enough for our #5 pick. :doh:

The Pats 32nd pick of the 1st round is only one spot removed from being a 2nd round pick! Their 2nd round pick is really close to being a 3rd round pick! So it would be stupid of us to take their 21st pick in the 1st round (we wouldn't be able to get a blue-chip player here) and really a 2nd and 3rd round pick. :mad:
