I trade our #9 and next years #1 to NE for #21, 46, 52, 53

DE Smith, Williams, Robinson, Williams
CB - Haden, Quinn, nickle Jackson, dime McCain, Reeves, Bennett
S - Pollard, Dowling, Barber, Nolan

RBs Royster, Slaton, Tate
FB/HB/TE Casey

I cant imagine NE trading away multiple picks to move up. Thats like expecting us to draft a RB in the first round. But if they (or anyone) would I would be all over it. If im GM, going into this draft theres one key word that would define this draft for me.

R.U.N.

No team makes it far unless they can R.U.N. the ball when they NEED to R.U.N. and no team goes very far if they cant stop the R.U.N. when they NEED to stop the R.U.N.. So improving the interior of both lines my #1 goal. Finding a RB that can get tough yards after contact is #2 goal. Adding another physical DB that is a playmaker is #3 goal. My draft would look something like this.

#21 Mike Iupati OG 6'6" 330 Idaho Improves R.U.N. #1 goal
#41 Toby Gerhart RB 6'1" 235 Stanford Improves R.U.N. #2 goal
#46 Javier Arenas CB 5'9" 200 Alabama #3 goal
#52 Sergio Render OG 6'3" 320 Virginia Tech Improves R.U.N. #1 goal
#53 Vince Oghobaase DT 6'6" 312 Duke Improves R.U.N. #1 goal
#72 Dennis Pitta TE 6'5" 230 BYU O.D. insurance
#104 Boo Robinson DT 6'2" 326 Wake Forest Improves R.U.N. #1 goal
#136 Adam Ulatoski OT 6'8" 305 Texas Improves R.U.N. #1 goal
#168 Thomas Austin C/OG 6'3" 310 Clemson Improves R.U.N. #1 goal
#182 BPA
#200 BPA

Mike Iupati Instant starter/upgrade that can get a push in short yardage.

Sergio Render Instant starter/upgrade that can get a push in short yardage.

Thomas Austin C/OG 6'3" 310 Clemson - Everything people (not me) thought A Caldwell would be for a 6th round pick. I said Caldwell was overrated before we drafted him and he's done nothing to prove me wrong.

Adam Ulatoski OT 6'8" 305 Texas Very talented backup OT to groom pair with Butler for depth.

These 4 give us an OL that is very deep and talented. By far the most talented and deep OL we have ever had.

OT's Duane Brown Rashad Butler Eric Winston Ulatoski
OG's Render Iupati Mike Brisiel C. White
C's C. Myers Austin

Toby Gerhart Does anything really need to be said here?

Vince Oghobaase Solid rotation guy guy possible starter.

Boo Robinson Solid rotation guy guy possible starter.

These two replace Zgonina F. Okam giving us youth, athleticism and size and solid depth for the best rotation we have ever had.

DT's A. Okoye D. Robinson Oghobaase Boo Robinson S. Cody

Javier Arenas Gives us a another physical playmaking DB that allows us to let Robinson walk. He also allows us to get something in trade for Jacoby Jones as he is an excellent returner.

Dennis Pitta is a OD clone. Do we really want to go through the Daunte Robinson fiasco again? This guy has great hands and at 6'5" gives Schaub a huge target.
