In recent years, the New England Patriots draft strategy has been to usually trade down in or out of round one to accumulate either more picks in the draft or picks in future years.
According to the Boston Herald, it was part of an aggressive approach designed to improve a saggy New England defense that finished next to last overall in 2011.
All the wheeling and dealing has left New England with just two more picks - both in today's second round, Nos. 48 and 62. They have no picks left in rounds three through seven - barring, of course, more wheeling and dealing.
