ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss believes the Patriots would trade Ryan Mallett "in a heartbeat" if they were offered an early second-round pick.Reiss' response to a chat question about Mallett suggests he doesn't believe the Pats fancy him as Tom Brady's heir apparent. (We don't believe they do, either.) Reiss says he'd be "surprised" if New England got that kind of offer, but it's not impossible. Perhaps new Browns VP of Player Personnel Mike Lombardi -- a known Mallett lover -- would dangle the 68th and 101st overall picks.

Schiano should get the inside scoop from his boy Belichek and see if he's worth it. You can never really trust a salesman but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Since Belichick would rather have the second round pick (if this is true), I'm going to guess he doesn't think it's worth it.

Pretty much.

Ummm, no.

There's a reason Belicheck would take a 2nd round pick 'in a heartbeat' for him. And why the **CENSORED** would we waste a 2nd round pick on an unknown QB who was drafted in the 3rd round last year when the defense is as bad as it is?

[Bayfisher]

Schiano should draft a QB and work the system like Belichek does.  It isn't rocket science.  It is there for everyone to see.  What did they get for Cassel? Think ahead. 

[The Anti-Java]

If your going to spend that early 2nd on a QB,  I would rather draft a QB in the 2nd,  than trade for Mallett.

I think they roll with Free/Orvlasky [sp?]  and if Free doesn't light it up in 2013,  draft a QB with the first round pick in the 2014 draft, or move up for Johnny Football or Bridgewater, depending on how high the 2014 pick is.

[jerseybucsfan]

Gonna be a lot of competition to move up on those. Sure hope Free makes it.

Obviously I'm in the minority, but id make the trade. I like Mallett, and I think he is better than Freeman.

I'd be inclined to make the trade, but red flags are going up as Brady may be near the twilight of his career and Mallet was supposed to be the heir-apparent.  Could Mallett have demonstrated that he's not starter material and they want to ditch him?

This year's draft is nowhere near as good as last year's.    A 2nd round pick isn't all that valuable this year.   Mallett will be an upgrade from Freeman.   If nothing else, it finally puts some pressure on Freeman to perform.  Make the deal.

[Morgan]

Mallett: backup plan if Josh Freeman's contract become more than the Glazerhousers are will to part with.

What if we throw in a bag of crystal meth ??
