After moving up earlier in the second round to pick defensive back JoeJuan Thornhill, the New England Patriots now moved down: the reigning world champions made a trade with the Seattle Seahawks involving the 64th overall selection. The details of the move are as following:
Patriots get: #77 + #118
Seahawks get: #64
Quick-hit analysis: New England apparently felt that no player was worth picking at the 64th spot relative to a trade down. Seattle, meanwhile, opted to stop the fall of wide receiver D.K. Metcalf and selected him with the Patriots’ former pick.
