That said, I wouldn't mind moving down there and grabbing Phil Taylor because I think he could be a great NT and that would probably mean as much to this team as any other position going forward.

If that scenario played out I'd like to take Dalton at 33 and still have another top choice in round 2.

I don't think I'd take the trade, but I can see some scenarios where it could easily play out in our favor. In spite of that, I don't think there's anyway the Patriots try to move UP in the draft, though, so that probably makes this discussion meaningless.

In view of Belichick's draft history, I can understand why you don't think the Pats would move up. Nevertheless, I think the Pats might just make an exception this time to get Julio Jones. Their playoff loss to the Jets showed that they need a deep threat to help out the offense and they won't have Tom Brady forever so they need to give him the weapons he needs now.

As I wrote above, I would certainly insist on the 17th pick as part of the deal if they were to call about moving up to #10.
