2022 Offseason Non-Draft Transactions

[Blitzwood]

“Another year, another draft-pick trade involving the New England Patriots. The team announced on Monday that it has acquired the Nos. 183 and 245 picks from the Houston Texans in exchange for the No. 170 pick. That's a sixth- and seventh-rounder in exchange for a fifth.”

I like the trade, as minor as it is. 245 is basically a UDFA, and we could easily get back in the seventh round if needed.

I like the trade too. I am sure it is probably close to even per whatever trade value chart is out there, but the point is to close the gap between picks they previously had.

It gives them a little more flexibility if a trade is needed to move up further from #170. In such a scenario, the other team may not be willing to take extra 6th/7ths to move down too far.
