Patriots Fans Are Livid New England Traded Out Of First Round (Again)

So, the Patriots aren’t going to make a first-round selection in 2020 after all.

New England traded out of the first round of the virtual NFL Draft, trading their No. 23 pick to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for picks 37 and 71 in the second and third rounds, respectively. And, well, Patriots fans weren’t too happy about the move.

So, naturally, they took to Twitter to express their frustrations (and with a weird amount of Stephen A. Smith memes, too):

I would have preferred the #Patriots keep that 1st round pick and take someone as good as Tom Brady.

Not sure why they didn’t just do that.
