The New England Patriots made a notable move in the draft when trading the 14th overall pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for the 17th overall selection.
A fourth-round pick was also included in the deal.
The Patriots got the player they wanted in cornerback Christian Gonzalez. They also managed to make life harder for the AFC East rival New York Jets. With the 14th overall selection, the Steelers selected Broderick Jones from Georgia.
Jones was thought to have been a prime selection for New York, as they needed help protecting Aaron Rodgers.
