Am I over-thinking this?

In acquiring Brandin Cooks and Kony Ealy, the Patirots have given up their picks in the first two rounds. As it now stands, their top pick is the Panthers' third-rounder - 72nd overall. This seems a bit risky, particularly as they had no first-rounder last year.

Unless ... the Patriots already KNOW they're going to get a stack of picks for Jimmy Garoppolo and are biding their time before breaking the news.
