Patriots don't have the draft capital to make me want to trade with them.
At 15 you're SoL if you want a blue chip player, they will be gone. Where the Bengals are at right now, they are guaranteed their choice of 2 from a LT, WR, and TE all of whom are top-5 non-QB players in the draft. If they trade down to 15 they are all gone. Even Slater and Smith are probably gone and quite possibly Waddle as well by 15. So you'd have the 3rd OL or 4th WR to choose from.
Plus any future picks you get from them aren't going to ever be early picks. With a starting QB who threw 8 TD/10 INT, they still managed a 7-9 season. So likely any picks you get from them are going to be 20th+ in that round. The Patriots only 3rd round pick is a 3rd round comp pick, so the 33rd pick of the 3rd round.
Just an overall hard no thanks on that move.
