On an episode of his recent Scouts Honor podcast, NFL draft analyst Dave-Te’ Thomas mentioned that the Patriots are looking to trade up into the second, and supposedly have been in talks with the Steelers to make such a trade. According to Tomas, the Patriots are offering all three of their third-round selections as well as their fifth to move into the second round of the draft. Assuming this rumor is true, the Steelers should pounce on this deal.
To his credit, Thomas has been scouting football professionally since the late ’60s, and a lot of what he says holds merit in the scouting world.
