More Manuevering?

As a result of the trade with the Saints, the Patriots now have three picks in the third round, which gives them flexibility to do further deals in this draft.

"We're not afraid to trade," coach Bill Belichick said at a press conference at Gillette Stadium late in Round One. "I wouldn't rule anything out. Whether we move up to the second round, or trade 'em for picks next year, or use them to add players, we have a lot of options."

It didn't take long for teams to start moving up. Immediately after New England's deal with New Orleans, the Ravens traded their first-round choice, No. 8 overall, to Jacksonville, which coveted DE Derrick Harvey of Florida, who's a fearsome pass rusher.
