I'm all for the rumored Samuel + pick for Shawn Springs + 6th overall choice. Failing that, I see no need to move any of the two picks unless you're getting back already-established NFL talent.
The Pats will be in a very precarious position in the next few seasons - with all the aging and cap-number inflation - that having two first-round talents on the team at marginal costs is a very good thing.

IF the washington trade happens, who would we take at the 6th overall pick. LaRon Landry or go for a OT like Levi Brown.
I would say landry. Levi Brown will be good, but not worthy of a 6th overall pick, in my oppinion. I could even see belicheck taking willis with that pick.

As the draft gets closer, I am of the opinion that the best thing to do is to deal the 24th AND 28th pick and get out of the first round. Especially if they get to 24 and the Pats have no one rated with a first round grade (entirely possible). Someone of value and need would have to slip in the draft for me to want to stay (similar to what happened with Vince Wilfork). As it is you are getting a player just as good in the mid second as you would picking in their current positions. Plus you get extra picks either this year or next.

I think this draft is deep enough that the Pats could find definite year 2 starters at key positions if they stick with their two first-round picks. Dropping back would be a riskier proposition, especially given the team's multiple immediate needs.
