New England traded the #27 overall pick to Cincinnati, in exchange for the Bengals' #21 pick. The Patriots also included additional picks to go to Cincy, specifically their 3rd round pick.
The Patriots have finally done something with all those picks they’ve been hoarding and traded up for Chandler Jones. I think it’s a great move. Their biggest flaw heading into this offseason was their pass rush and now they’re getting a defensive end who Mike Mayock said could be the best to come out of this draft.
The defending AFC Champions just got a little scarier. They still have another first rounder and I still expect them to trade down, because they always do.
(
Ed. update: the Patriots didn't trade down from their 2nd first round pick, but actually traded up again!)
