Patriots spin off 2nd-round picks in trades with Lions and Bears

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots turned the second-round draft choice they received for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo into a 2019 second-round pick and two 2018 fourth-round selections in a flurry of activity on Friday night.

The original pick the Patriots received, No. 43, was sent to the Detroit Lions for a 2018 second-rounder (No. 51) and a 2018 fourth-rounder (117).

The Patriots then took the 2018 second-rounder acquired from the Lions (No. 51) and traded it to the Chicago Bears for the 2019 second-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick (105).
