The New England Patriots, after hopefully landing their quarterback of the future on Thursday night, may have added two key pieces on defense in rounds two and three. Taking Alabama quarterback Mac Jones to be their next franchise guy was one of the more intriguing moves from the first round, but Bill Belichick managed to top that on Friday night.

The Patriots are known as a team that likes to trade down and pick up as many selections as possible.
