Patriots Trade Down In 2017 NFL Draft, Move From No. 72 To No. 83
After patiently waiting while nearly six dozen names were called in the 2017 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots … traded down.
New England, which did not have a pick in the first two rounds, swung a deal with the Tennessee Titans during the third round Friday night to move from No. 72 to No. 83. The Patriots also received the Titans’ fourth-round pick (124th overall) as part of the trade, and Tennessee received New England’s sixth-rounder (No. 200).
Tennessee used the 72nd pick to select Western Kentucky wide receiver Taywan Taylor.
The move gave the Patriots two third-round picks (Nos. 83 and 96), two fourth-rounders (Nos. 124 and 131), one fifth-rounder (No. 183) and one seventh-rounder (No. 239).
