After a flurry of trading activity in the second round that had the Patriots trading down from #43 to #51 and #117 (Detroit) to trading that pick for a 2019 2nd round pick (plus #105 from Chicago), they then traded their #63 pick and #117 (received in the trade with Detroit) to move up to #56 to land slot corner Duke Dawson from Florida.
So who is Duke Dawson? He was a one-year starter for the Gators, having to wait his turn playing behind Vernon Hargreaves, Quincy Wilson and Teez Tabor, playing some safety and slot corner before getting his shot in 2017.
