The Patriots traded their 183rd overall pick to the Chiefs for TE James O'Shaughnessy and the 216th overall pick.

6'4" 243 lbs Illinois State
Entering 3rd Year

8 career catches in 2 seasons with KC. Was behind Kelce, Demetrius Harris, and Ross Travis on KC's depth chart.

Highlight tape from Illinois State. A hybrid TE. Taking a flyer.

Pats must not think too much of Jake Butt.

Or that he wasn't going to be there with their first pick today. O'Shaughnessy also played a ton of ST for KC last year. This could be 3rd TE/Mingo replacement on ST.

The Belichick-Reid draft trade streak continues! Hasn't it been every year the past 15 or something crazy?

Matt Waldman was a big O'Shaughnessey fan coming out. His #2 TE in the 2015 draft behind Maxx Williams. Apparently he put up crazy Pro Day numbers.

Lots of special teams tackles. Most by any TE

But why wouldn't you wait until the point?

Because presumably they like O'Shaughnessy better for what they need.

I would never assume Pats are unwilling to add another TE

5-wide formations from "14" personnel packages? Giddy-up.

Yes. Which goes back to maybe BB not wanting Butt.

Butt's knee is probably toast. Maybe a trip to Kobe's doctor is in the works?

Devin McCourty, Willie McGinest... the list of Irish Patriots greats is long and storied!
