Should Patriots trade for Eagles' Brandon Graham?

Reports have been coming out that the Eagles had contacted the Dolphins about trading for Dion Jordan, the Fins' 2013 first round pick. While that story is big in it's own rights, what's hidden in all this is that the Eagles are looking to move LB/DE Brandon Graham.

In the proposed trade, the Eagles offered Graham and their second rounder for Jordan.

The Eagles have stated that they are open to moving Graham if the right deal is made.

Graham has struggled with injury in his short NFL career, but was healthy in 2012 where he amassed 5.5 sacks on the season. Last year however he was demoted under Chip Kelly's system and seems to not be a fit for Kelly's 3-4 scheme.

Is this a player the Patriots should go get? For a fourth or a fifth rounder, yea it makes sense. The Patriots need another pass rusher obviously and while there have been rumblings about signing the Fresh Prince, I don't think Will Smith would stay on the roster past camp. Graham gives the Patriots a younger option at pass rusher who has shown flashes of being a disruptive pass rusher.

What do you think? Should the Pats make a play for him? Let me know in the comments or on twitter.
