Sedric Ellis under 300

[TJJackson]

Translation

We (the Patriots) want Rivers or a Corner, either of which will probably still be available at pick 9 or 10

We'd prefer to drop to pick 9 or 10 to get one of these players so we can pay them less

Teams at pick 9 and pick 10 both want/need Ellis

ergo

We bait these two teams by declaring we want Ellis at 7, so one of them will trade their pick and a r3 pick to us for our pick 7

and

we still get the player we want

and

we pay him less

and

we pick up an extra r3 pick

and

we if we can get these two teams into a bidding war, we can ALSO pick up a r5 or r6 pick as well

If Patriots wanted 9 to simply pay their player less money i'd be up for working out a trade,What i'm worried about though is the Saints jumping ahead of us anywhere from 5-8....Almost every chiefs fan is praying they trade down with the saints and take clady at 10 if this did Happen I'd almost hope the bengals draft him out of spite.
