NE gets #2 overall pick taking Calvin Johnson. Win all around, yes?

That would be a great trade.

But they drafted Chad Jackson early second round last year, Reche Caldwell played great for them down the stretch, and they just gave all that money to Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth. Then they'd have to give a huge rookie contract to CJ. I don't see it.

And as far as LaRon Landry goes- he's a great safety prospect, but the Pats could, ahem, stand pat (sorry) and probably get Reggie Nelson at 24 and a LB like Posluzny at 28. They need to bolster their LBs and safties more than their WRs.

it seems like young players dont want the tag after they get done with their 3-4 year rookie contracts (briggs now samuel), they want a long term deal with guaranteed money which makes sense . . . i dont particularly like samuels but wouldnt hate it if he signed for something close to bly type money but please no where near clements neighborhood . . i think he wants to much money to pull the trigger on this one

Yeah, somebody pay me millions of dollars so that I can play football. I need to be able to by my multimillion dollar home, 20 cars, new state of the art technology, and a new girlfriend every night for the next few years, because I gotta look out for my family. Oh dont forget to throw in that free trip to Hawaii every year.

Somebody pass me some beer nuts because I think Im gonna be sick.....hickup!

He wants to much money and we already have alot of depth at the position. I also think that we can get an even better trade on draft day if our FO can handle waiting 3 more weeks
