The Patriots swung a deal to move up to the Raiders’ No. 91 overall pick, bringing them back into the third round.
Patriots acquire:
- No. 91
- No. 159
Raiders acquire:
- No. 100
- No. 139
- No. 172
With the 91st pick, the Patriots selected tight end Devin Asiasi, their first offensive player of draft weekend. Asiasi offers speed and good blocking technique, but scouts say he needs to spend some time pumping iron in order to adjust to the pro game.
The UCLA product figures to play a key role for the Pats in 2020, but you can expect them to explore veteran options between now and the start of the season. Trey Burton, Jordan Reed, and Charles Clay are among the free agent tight ends still left on the market.
Trey Burton signed with the colts.

Why are the Pat’s not going after OJ Howard.
Ask BB, he always has a Master plan.
No cap space 🙁
Some Master plan only getting a 4th Round pick for Gronk.
Lmao Patriots are lucky they got a forth.
When Gronk unretired his salary put them over the cap.
He was only going to be traded to 1 place, Tampa.
Idk why Tampa gave up a forth. No team was going to trade for Gronk cause if they did he’d just retire again.
They had to give up the 4th cause bill wasn’t gonna just let him walk out the door and play, he had to get something back?
Oh the draft is only 4 rounds? Huh. Thought it was 7.
They didn’t have to give up the 4th. They could of gave up a 7th or a 6th. Could of offered a 6th in 2021.
Gronk was not going anywhere but Tampa Bay. Any team that tried to trade for him he’d threaten to retire nullifying any trade attempts.
Patriots did not have the cap space to absorb his salary.
Tampa Bay had all the leverage and overplayed their hand.
Can I just say as much as I hate Goodell, he has absolutely nailed it this draft. a damn American hero for what he has done here.
Buccs to trade OJ Howard and a 5th for Marlon Mack
Buccs need a RB and Colts could do with a solid receiving, playmaking TE.
Mack is from the Florida area so Tampa is close to home and makes sense.
Colts will be solid with Taylor Hilton Pittman Doyle and Howard. While Buccs will have Brady Mack Evans Godwin Brate and Gronk
does being from Florida mean anything if he’s an already signed player?
Means he might re-up to a nice contract and be extra passionate to play in his homestate.
Signed burton and colts want That 1-2 monster with that o line.
many mocks had tautman to the pats. like always When everyone zigs Bill zags
To BB, I guess Asiasi + Keene > Trautman.
Really guys? This is the best you can do? Weak website at most crucial time
Oh, Darn! It looks like the Bears plan to have 53 TEs on their roster has taken a hit.
If it was anyone else but Bella check I could understand people saying a fourth rounder is nothing but to a guy like Belichick who is a genius with drafting that fourth rounder in a couple of years will come out appearing like a first rounder
Asiasi has to pump iron!!??
The man weighs 279 pounds!
