The Patriots are set to pick early on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, holding the No. 34 overall pick. But it’s possible they opt to use their high second-round selection to make a different kind of addition.
New England has broached the San Francisco 49ers on a trade for Brandon Aiyuk, NBC Sports Boston’s Tom E. Curran reported ahead of Round 1 of the draft.
While Aiyuk has been involved in trade rumors for much of the offseason, the 49ers seemed to add fire to them on Thursday. They used their first-round pick on Florida wideout Ricky Pearsall, potentially giving them an Aiyuk replacement.
