Every year, I make a prediction based on a player I think the Patriots could use.

Every year, it involves the Patriots using multiple chips to trade up.

It never happens because BB almost invariably trades back. And certainly he doesn't trade up high. But consider this scenario...

The draft starts

IND Luck

WAS RGIII

MIN Maurice Claiborne

CLE Trent Richardson

The Patriots trade both of their firsts and their first second with Tampa to move up to Number 5 overall

and draft

Matt Kalil OT USC

Everyone's focused on defense. But with Matt Light's retirement the offensive line is (forgive the pun) a tad light and protecting Tom Brady has to be focus number one.
