Personally, setting the OT discussion aside for a minute, I would not mind at all if Ted Thompson pulled something off like a trade to NE for two of their three 2nd round picks.

I think if Teddy got his hands on three 2nds in this draft he would kick some butt. I could see a Safety, OT, and, ROLB, all in before round three.

It could happen. There will be a lot of good players there between #20 and #32 and if NE see's two there they really like they could go back to back. They have a pot full of picks and they will be wasting picks down the line because no way they can all make the team.

How could they lose? A first and three seconds or two firsts and a second.

Geez, I wish we were in NE's shoes.

The problem always is, is there a team to trade with, I wasn't aware of NE's situation, will be interesting to watch, they could be the trade partner Ted Thompson (might) be looking for.

Siverstein's article was interesting, I can understand MM talking about "competition at every position", but when it comes right down to getting to business I hope he locks his starting 5 in real early and let them work together throughout the summer and pre-season.

After hours of watching other teams pick, we finally to get to pick 23. Trade notification, the Packers trade away their only pick of the day.

How much of a let down would that be? Lol.

The reason I could see a NE trade scenario is that from what I gather it is a common thought that there is very good value at the end of the first round.

This tells me NE would not have to trade down lower unless they were really focused on one player. They could actually be sitting there at their pick and if they had TWO players they really liked they could make the deal before they select at #22 and not have to sweat over which one they take because they know they will get them both.

Like I say NE is sitting in a really good spot.

    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
