Pats trade two picks in third

The Patriots have quietly (because ESPN seems to be allergic to reporting trade details) picked up two 2010 second-rounders and a 2009 seventh rounder for two third round picks, the Boston Globe is reporting.

Pretty much classic Belichick here: looking toward next year's draft when not enamored of any player currently on the board. Turning two third-rounders into two second-rounders is a hell of a good deal.

Makes it boring as hell to watch if you're a Pats fan, though.
