49ers' pick
Much has been discussed about the Patriots owning the 49ers' 2008 first-round draft choice, and the San Francisco Chronicle touches on the Patriots striking gold with that pick.
Writes Nancy Gay:
"Hmm, let's see: Whom to pick in April's NFL draft, LSU's Glenn Dorsey? USC's Sedrick Ellis? Virginia's Chris Long? What an embarrassment of riches.
If you're the New England Patriots."
Mike Reiss and other Globe reporters provide regular updates -- and a behind the scenes look -- on the daily happenings of the Patriots.

I think we all agree that BB doesn't think that first round guaranteed contracts are a sensible way to go and that he will trade the pick down.
It sort of depends on how much depth they think the draft will have. If they score a top 5 pick then they can trade down and load up. Remember, if they decide to retain Samuel then they are not going to have top 5 money available. Secondly, their LBs are getting old and need upgrading and I could see them needing to grab another WR since Stallworth and maybe even Moss might be gone next year. I hope that they don't trade for a pick for the 2009 draft. Time to inject more athleticism into this D!
