The other option is New England trading #58 + #89 for that #45.

Why not deal with the Tuna? He's got extra picks. #25 + #56 = 1060 points.

Perhaps the Patriots would like Matthews at #15. #23 + #58 = 1080 points.

Just doing my due dilligence to see how I can get more 2nd and 3rd round picks.

How about the more likely case of dropping 4-6 spots once and then do that again with another team. That would would get you two more 3rds, most likely. Then two 3rds gets you back into the 2nd if you see someone you have to have. That is a lot of wheeling dealing, but the value in this draft is between #25 to the early 3rd round. So the more picks the merrier.
