However, aside from the fact NE wants nothing to do with trading up, I would never consider that deal for our #5 overall considering the following: Even if NE slaps Wilfork with the franchise tag, they did the same thing to Cassel last year and we landed him for an early second rounder and inked him at the same level of money, and he is a "franchise" QB (not that i don't believe in #7) but NT doesn't command the same level of $$$.
So here is a counterproposal. Wilfork for our #36 overall and a 4th/5th round pick. This is a dream scenario for me, then I say take Okung first. Then if Weatherspoon is somehow available for our #50 then jump on him. If he's not (He won't, neither will my other guy Mike Iupati) then hopefully Pouncey is available to solidify the interior OL (I still believe a team lives and dies in the trenches).
I'm much less worried about drafting a receiver or a safety high. I'm still high on Bowe and I am coveting Steve Breatson (Ex-Hailey-Cardinal) as another highly capable offseason acquisition.
Any counter-scenarios you'd like to propose, Coach?
