Again I like some aspects of this and don't like some. Just throwing it out there.

Ive said this the last few times Ive chosen to respond to the possibility.
For NE to want to trade Mallett, they would have to be getting a premium on the pick they used to select him...at least a full round higher and then some.
OR
They would also have to look at him as a guy they can live without in the future and a guy that has problems as anticipated.
Now, onto us...
During the draft, we didnt feel he was worth even a third rounder....so, something would have to have changed between now and the time of the previous draft that made him worth a lot more to us.
I would have to believe that if NE thinks highly of Mallett, they would have to be demanding a early second rounder at worst and a mid to late first at best and I dont think that would be worth it.
Ryan has a big timer arm ( I honestly don't think its head and shoulders higher than Stanzis, though), but doesn't do very well under pressure, isn't exceptionally accurate, is a Statue of Bledsoe back there and has real questions about a serious drug problem that may or may not exist.
For me, Id rather make a move for one of the kids in this upcoming draft and make a ****ing statement that "you are our kid and we are gonna develop you into a great quarterback"
IMO a trade for Mallett would be only slightly better than trading for Cassel.
We need OUR OWN KID, NOT SOMEBODY ELSES FOR THE NEXT GO AROUND, PLEASE!!!!
PLEASE!!!!
