Moving The Picks

When the NFL draft starts on April 25th I don't expect the Pats to maintain their current number of picks. They will be drafting 29th in the first, second and third rounds.They also have the 20th and 29th picks in the 7th round.

I can't imagine Coach Belichick passing on rounds four, five and six. They lost these picks as compensation in previous trades for Aqib Talib, Chad Johnson and Albert Haynesworth. Trading any of their first three picks should yield additional ones in the rounds they don't have any.

I wouldn't be surprised if they traded out of the first round to get a bunch of picks.
