The New England Patriots made one of their usual moves during the first night of the NFL Draft on Thursday.
The organization realized that the gap between their picks from the first round (23rd overall) to the third round (87th overall) was too large, so as a result, the Patriots decided to gain additional draft assets.
In doing so, the Patriots traded down and out of the first round in order to gain a second (37th overall) and additional third round pick (71st overall) from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for the 23rd overall draft pick.
