You realize he'll trade out of that spot, rightYES. Now this is a great trade:
@FieldYates
The Patriots have traded now pick 114 to the Lions in exchange for Detroit’s 2019 third round pick, per source.

You know, if they use it.Next year’s 3rd is good value.
We’re not going to address the defense in this draft in a significant way.
BB has already got his eyes on a 2020 2nd rounder, to be used to get a 2021 ist rounder.Next year’s 3rd is good value.
Well I hope you are right. It just seems odd that they traded out of the round all together after some of the picks in front of them.Disagree. I liked Lauletta, you liked Lauletta, but clearly B.B./Josh did not. They had ample chances to take him. Some day you can question the evaluation, but you can’t question the draft strategy.
I really hope he is much more Stanton than Jimmy.Drew Stanton: 52.4% career completion rate.
This made me laugh.Patriots pick up a pair of eighth-round picks from the Lions
Mike ReissVerified account @MikeReissSo is there a group of Pats cheerleaders and Kevin Faulk waiting somewhere to read off a name of a draft pick?
They may want to grab lunch.
Pros:I started on the treadmill with the fist pick and vowed not to get off till the Pats pick. This could be a record breaking run.
Beyond the condescending attitude of that tweet, NE is in a far different landscape than it was when it got Gronk. First and foremost, Brady doesn't have as many years remaining as he did then. To compare the situations is lazy bullshit
Who are these guys next year?@AdamSchefter
Stockpiling ammunition to go find their QB of the future
A Gronk would be a good pick regardless of having Brady though.Beyond the condescending attitude of that tweet, NE is in a far different landscape than it was when it got Gronk. First and foremost, Brady doesn't have as many years remaining as he did then. To compare the situations is lazy bullshit
A Gronk w/o a good quarterback isn't the same Gronk.A Gronk would be a good pick regardless of having Brady though.
Shea Patterson (Mich)Who are these guys next year?
Added some 6ths too, right?So, to recap, netting everything out.
1) The Patriots traded 117 to move up to get Dawson.
2) The Patriots traded the 43rd overall pick for 178 this year and a second (Bears) and a third (Lions) in 2019.
He's the guy you ask along for a night at the bar with friends, talk him up to the point where he's so happy to be there that he offers to pay the tab ... then you gack on his shoes and leave him standing thereThis guy must be fun to hang out with
Bears have a decent chance to go 6-10. Vegas puts them at 6.5 wins (over -130 / under +110). That gets them in the #9-#12 range in the first round and #41-45 range in the second.So, to recap, netting everything out.

Would be helpful (and wishful thinking) if the Vikes and (Rodgers) Packers beat up the Bears and Lions, and they split against each other so with some luck there could be 5 losses right there.Bears have a decent chance to go 6-10. Vegas puts them at 6.5 wins (over -130 / under +110). That gets them in the #9-#12 range in the first round and #41-45 range in the second.
So, BB essentially this year's #43 second-rounder for a similar spot in 2019 + 3rd rounder in 2019 + #178 this year.
I remembered you wrote this awhile ago. First thing that came to mind was if you were still pushing through. Pace yourself....Pros:
1.). I’m in LA, so time zones work in my favor. Not killing the whole day.
2.) While I I’ve things I want to do, no hard plans today.
3.) In fact, things I want to procrastinate on.
4.). I could use the work
Cons:
1.) as per usual, it’s a beautiful day here
2.) this is kind of boring
3.). Not in shape for this
I’m down to a slow jog (walking when I post) and will drop to a fast walk st th end of the round.
I wantI want to see Bill trade again to get pick 199 and then select a Random QB just to mess with everyone.
...and predict QB Logan Woodside in the 6th round for the Pats.Scheme Fit: Woodside is somewhat limited schematically as he lacks a power arm to push the ball vertically on a consistent basis. He is best suited for a rhythm-based offense, similar to what New England runs, as his footwork on both drops and in the pocket is solid, and he shows the ability to make throws on time and in the overall structure of the play.
