With their second pick in the sixth-round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected Miami wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
The wide receiver position wasn’t considered a major need for the Patriots heading into the draft. The team lost Danny Amendola to the Dolphins in free agency and traded Brandin Cooks to the Rams. They acquired wideout Cordarelle Patterson in a trade with Oakland and signed former-Bill Jordan Matthews in April. In addition, wide receivers Julian Edelman and Malcolm Mitchell will return after missing all of last season due to injuries.
