What I'm saying is New England will want to hold on to pick #34 because they will value that high 2nd highly. Because they have so many picks they will not see a whole lot of value in giving up both picks #23 and #34 in order to get pick #81 back when there are easier ways to get to #13 (assuming they would want to do so) that would not require them giving up #34.

The other angle is if NE really wants to trade up for someone, and we have an inkling of who the player might be...we should probably just draft that guy for ourselves. NE has superb talent evaluators and we would be wise to grab someone they think worthy of trading up for.

Good observation Goat. WE can't part with our high #1 picks anymore. So few of our 2-7 round draft picks have really amounted to much over the past decade, that to give them away(#1 picks) for more lower round draft picks is simply moronic. Why trade away a probable starter for a bunch of chaffe!!!!!!

Word...I hope last year's scenario was the exception rather than the rule.
