Wow! Check out this from a piece by Gretz this monrning over at kcchiefs.com...
Quote:
In the last nine drafts, the Patriots acquired 54 selections, while trading away 55 picks.
Belichick/Pioli made multiple deals in every draft but their first on with the Patriots in 2000. In the 2003 Draft alone, the Patriots:
Acquired: picks No. 13, 36, 41, 45, 75, 78, 117, 120, 154, 164, 201, 239, 243, DT Ted Washington and four choices in the 2004 Draft.
Dealt: picks No. 14, 19, 41, 50, 75, 78, 81, 120, 128, 140, 154, 157, 193, 225.
When the smoke cleared, the Patriots had Washington, 10 players selected in the ‘03 Draft including DT Ty Warren, CB Asante Samuel and C Dan Koppen, plus the four draft choices in ‘04. From those ‘04 picks New England got DT Vince Wilfork and picked up RB Corey Dillon in a trade.
All the evidence means this: expect some wheeling and dealing when it comes to the Chiefs and the 2009 NFL Draft. It’s the way of the league.
