The New England Patriots were prepared to trade down and out of the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft and even had a trade lined up, before a player fell down the draft board that surprised the front office. When the Indianapolis Colts skipped over defensive tackle Malcom Brown in favor of wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, the Patriots backed out of the trade and selected Brown.
Three years later, the Patriots should be thrilled with their draft pick (and the fact they added Dorsett in a later trade is just the icing on top).
