With three former first-round picks on their defensive line -- Richard Seymour (2001), Ty Warren (2003), and Vince Wilfork (2004) -- the Patriots obviously didn't feel the pressing need that New Orleans did to select Sedrick Ellis of Southern Cal with the seventh choice overall.
It's a good move for the Pats, who now have the Saints' pick in the first round --10th overall -- and also the 78th choice overall, which is the 15th in the third round. As part of the deal, New England also gave up its fifth-round choice, number 164 overall, to the Saints.
