A couple of days ago, I announced that we had made a trade in our SB Nation NFL Mock Draft so that the Minnesota Vikings could select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy at #4 overall. While some thought that the price of moving up. . .three total first-round picks. . .was too much, it appears as though the real world price of moving up in the draft might be getting even higher.
Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston, who covers the New England Patriots, is reporting that it would take “a lot more” than three first-round picks for the Patriots to move down from #3 overall.
