The New England Patriots love to move around in the draft but they didn’t trade down fro the No. 29 overall pick despite it being prime trade down territory. Instead, the Patriots went ahead and drafted Dominique Easley from the University of Florida.
New England needed help on their defensive front and took a guy who a lot of people viewed as an injury risk but Bill Belichick saw as a stud in the making. The question was, were Patriots fans as excited about Easley as the team was?
Third "who?!" player of the night, Pats select Dom Easley. Hes got a great motor. Should fit in to New England. #Patriots #NFLDraft2014

New England Patriots actually make a 1st round pick instead of trading it away. Belichick must be desperate. #NFLDraft
