The Big Draft News

So the big draft news for the Patriots was kind of tangentially related to the draft: we traded Ellis Hobbs (corner) to the Philadelphia Eagles for 2 5th-round picks. I was sufficiently surprised that I ran to my computer as soon as I saw the info on ESPN yesterday. We currently have about 382 corners between the draft and off-season trades, so I guess they have other plans (and as you may recall, last year we needed corners). Let's hope that some combination will work out and I can retire that tag.
