The Browns got third- and fourth-round picks in 2016, a first-round pick next year and a second-round pick in 2018 for next to nothing in their trade with the Eagles. After waiting out all of the first round thanks to the penalty from Deflategate, the Patriots made four selections in rounds two and three Friday and enter Saturday with eight more picks in hand.

This draft includes a player they expect instant results from, a player they are willing to wait to heal and players who are either going to play a role in the regular game action, be a project or had better find a way to make the special teams to begin their careers.
“It’s something I’m excited for, something I’m ready for”, Goff said. So much so they traded up to take the Florida State kicker in the second round. It marks the first time in school history that three players were selected in the first round. Look for a team with defensive depth and a track history of recent success to take Smith, who likely will miss all of next season as he continues to rehab his knee, as opposed to a team desperate to turn a franchise around.
Aguayo became the second Seminole selected in the 2016 Draft, following defensive back Jalen Ramsey, who was drafted fifth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. With a handful of picks to work with, the Colts will have a chance to add more talent to their roster, and there certainly is plenty of talent left on the board.
“He would’ve broken every scoring record if he stayed one more year in college football”, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher told Seminoles.com about Aguayo”. All compensatory picks will be four minutes. Still, though, you’ve got to think that Billings will go in the fourth round, and if he’s still there when the Colts pick, it might make sense.

It’s now Day 3 of the draft and Cook is still on the board. He ran a 4.94 40-yard dash at the combine and a 4.44 in the shuttle drill showing off his speed and agility while throwing up 31 reps on the bench to showcase his strength. The Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants could use an offensive lineman, Spriggs could be the pick there.
