You don't understand the Patriots draft philosophy. They DON'T CARE what a guy projects to for other teams. Never have and never will.
And besides, it takes two to tango. How do you know for certain that anyone was available to trade down again? How do you knwo that the Pats didn't think that some other team might leap up in front of them to grab him. If he's clearly the best guy on their board, and he fits an OBVIOUS need (which he did) then why the **** would you risk losing him to pick up a minor pick in a late round?
