NFL Draft 2020: New England Patriots show aggression to land high-ceiling players on Day 2

Eyeing one of the deepest draft classes in recent memory through their respective computer monitors, Bill Belichick and Nick Caserio were aggressive in chasing down high-ceiling players on Day 2 of the NFL Draft.

A day after dealing their first-round pick to gain capital, the Patriots traded up to snag their targets three times Friday night. After their first pick, they weren’t in the batter’s box just trying to hit solid singles. They started taking some hacks for the fences.

The first selection of the night was Kyle Dugger, a Division II defensive back and punt returner that’ll give the aging safeties a shot of youth.
