Did you know that the 10th overall pick has been traded on draft day in three of the last six years?
Those trades give us an idea at what Dallas could net if they do decide to move back themselves.
We discussed and broke down the previous trades here.

 
1. No draft is the same. The players are not the same. So what happened in three of the last six years influences this draft in no way, shape, or form. All the history this guy lists is interesting, but has no bearing on the 2021 draft.
2. Kiper and BTB are assuming the Patriots would give a first and not want a third back. And that third will be this year. So you get a first for five slots. But give up one of your premium picks this year for a first next year.
3. Belichick is not known for giving away first round picks. He usually wins the trades as well.

I'd like to have that first, but I think Kiper is dreaming or mistaken. I said something similar in a post here about an hour ago.

If Sewell or Pitts isn't there, your best play is to trade down and take Barmore. Barmore is a stud DT, and this draft is deep with day 2 defensive talent. You would be able to get a potential 'chice DT as well as adding another day 2 pick. 5 top 100's in this draft goes along way to fixing the defense, and still have picks to fortify the OL

Agreed. It's Pitts or trade down for me if we can secure a good 2nd round pick
 
I’m getting to where I think we should just stay put and take Jaelen Phillips.

That is what this defense needs. A game wrecker.

If Pitts or Sewell are there you run to the podium with their draft card instead of trading down to 2nd tier talent.
Get your DT in the 2nd round.
Barmore is borderline late 1st round early 2nd round talent anyway,
