Why are you so confident that BB will trade out of the first round? The value of the fifth year contract option makes first round picks much more valuable than second rounders since you get an extra year out of the rookie deal (Nate Solder’s situation for example). Also, looking back to the drafts after the 2003 and 2004 SB wins, BB used both of those picks (and got great value out of them too).
Very valid points and I think the 5th year option certainly does count for something. Look, I’d prefer they use the pick, but I just think that given the draft’s current set up, with the Pats having the last pick of the first day, it will an extremely in-demand slot. If a team is willing to overpay for it, the Pats seem to always want to jump on that kind of value.

One of the most fascinating second-year players on the Patriots, and there are quite a few of them including Easley, Zach Moore, Cameron Gordon and of course Malcolm Butler.
