Chiefs trade James O’Shaughnessy to Patriots to move up to 5th round

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded tight end James O’Shaughnessy to the New England Patriots along with a sixth round pick in exchange for a fifth round choice. The full details can be found below via the Chiefs official Twitter feed.

O’Shaughnessy was the Chiefs fifth round choice in 2015 and came in as a small-school prospect who had the size, speed and hands to potentially be a diamond in the rough at the tight end position. The Chiefs apparently decided to move on after O’Shaughnessy kept getting passed over for snaps by other developmental options like Ross Travis and Demetrius Harris.
