The New England Patriots did not end up making a pick at No. 77 in the third round. The selection, originally obtained in a trade from the Atlanta Falcons, was re-packaged and sent to the Carolina Panthers.

In return, the Patriots received the 85th overall pick later in Round 3 as well as the 146th pick in the fifth round. As a result of that move, their remaining portfolio now looks as follows:

• Round 3, Pick 85 (via Carolina Panthers)
• Round 4, Pick 106
• Round 5, Pick 144
• Round 5, Pick 146
• Round 5, Pick 171 (via Dallas Cowboys)
• Round 7, Pick 220
• Round 7, Pick 238 (via Los Angeles Chargers)

The Patriots have made three selections so far in this year’s draft. They opened with offensive tackle Will Campbell, who was selected fourth overall in the first round on Thursday. On Friday, the team added running back TreVeyon Henderson in the second round followed by wide receiver Kyle Williams in the third.

Carolina drafted Ole Miss edge defender Princely Umanmielen with the 77th overall pick.
