FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots acquired a conditional 2017 seventh-round draft choice from the Washington Redskins in exchange for center Bryan Stork on Wednesday, which provides a springboard to revisit the team's selections next year.
As of now, this is the breakdown of the Patriots' 2017 draft picks:
First round (original)
Second round (original)
Third round (original)
Fourth round (from Seattle)
Fifth round (original)
Sixth round (original)
Seventh round (conditional/Washington)
The club had traded its 2017 seventh-round pick to Detroit last year in exchange for tight end Michael Williams, so this acquired pick -- assuming Stork reports to Washington and the conditions of the trade are ultimately met -- would fill that void.
