Former coworkers Bill Belichick and Bob Quinn have made a deal. The Lions have moved into the No. 43 spot, and the Patriots will slide down in the second round, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).
New England will acquire picks 51 and 117, per ESPN.com’s Field Yates (Twitter link). The Pats entered the draft without a fourth-round pick; they now own one.
With the pick, the Lions drafted running back Kerryon Johnson. The Lions have struggled on the ground for a while now, and they’re bringing the Auburn-developed back to attempt to re-route their ground attack.
Johnson will join a backfield corps that includes Ameer Abdullah and LeGarrette Blount. He represents the franchise’s biggest investment at this position since Abdullah came to Detroit via 2015 second-round selection.
So the Pats got nothing in exchange for Jimmy G
They got a 2nd(51) and a 4th(117)
