The New England Patriots are no strangers to receiving multiple compensatory draft picks, and head coach Bill Belichick will have a few more at his disposal this year.
All of the compensatory picks for the 2021 NFL Draft in April were announced by the league Wednesday.
The Patriots are getting two selections -- one in the third round (No. 96 overall) for losing quarterback Tom Brady in free agency, and one in the fourth round (No. 140 overall).
Some projections had the Patriots receiving two fourth-round compensatory picks after linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins both left via free agency in 2020, but New England was awarded one of those selections.
