Exploring hot New England Patriots topics in mailbag form:
Mike, given the Ragnow trade-up rumor & eventual Wynn pick, do you think they would've passed on Evans if he was still there at 23. Thanks.
That's a real good question, Mike. Let's start with the Detroit Free Press story that noted the Patriots were interested in trading up for center Frank Ragnow (No. 20, Lions). It's always a challenge to know for certain what the team's intentions are, but it seems accurate to me that the team was exploring the market to move up, and also had options to move back from 23. I view that as standard operating procedure and would be surprised if they revealed the player they were targeting to another…
