There were a handful of trades last night after we signed off, and one of them included two division rivals. ESPN’s Field Yates reported (via Twitter) that the Jets and Patriots made the following swap:
Patriots acquire:
- No. 101
Jets acquire:
- No. 125
- No. 129
- 2021 6th Round Pick
The Patriots ended up using their newfound third-rounder on Virginia Tech tight end Dalton Keene.
This was actually the second time on Friday that New England traded up to take a tight end. Earlier in the night, they acquire No. 91 from the Raiders and took UCLA’s Devin Asiasi. As many pundits have pointed out, this is the first time the Patriots have taken a pair of tight ends in one draft since selecting Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez back in 2010.
Ryan Izzo and Matt LaCosse are currently the only veteran tight ends on New England’s roster, so there’s a good chance the two rookies will see plenty of targets from Jarrett Stidham next season.
Would it kill you guys the name the round a of the pick? like I have no idea if 125 is the third round or the fourth
Look it up you lazy ass
LOL
Well there are 32 teams so that would make 125 a 4th round pick.
Except for compensation picks. Pick 125 was in the 3rd round.
