The New England Patriots have frequently been one of the most active teams on draft day, trading down to collect extra picks.

The Patriots traded down from No. 29 last season with the Minnesota Vikings and collected four picks as the price.

The Patriots appear to be in go-for-it mode with Tom Brady aging out of his prime.

Belichick has moved out of the first round to acquire more value twice in the last five years (2013 and ’09), and three times if you count 2011, when the Pats traded their second of two first-round picks to the New Orleans Saints.

The Patriots have moved up in the first round four times (Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower, Ty Warren, Daniel Graham).
