Rodgers-Cromartie...4.28 40 yard dash' (merged)

Well I don't imagine they're going to let Samuel walk because he's too expensive...only to turn around and hand a rookie CB a $20 million dollar signing bonus. I would imagine the Patriots priority list looks like this

Chris Long/Vernon Ghoulston
Darren McFadden
maybe Jake Long
Trade-out of the pick

I just can't see them spending #7 overall money on anyone else there.

Exactly.

I think we have maybe only a few hurdles to get over, to draft Cromartie...

1: The Pats don't take him (we just discussed on them passing him, but you never know).
2: If the Pats trade down...the team that gets that pick, are they looking at Cromartie?
3: The Ravens don't take him, I don't think they need CB but I've seen mocks them taking a CB.
4: Some team out of the blue trades up before us and takes him (Ravens/Bengals slot).

After that, we should be able to get him with ease.
