The New England Patriots received two compensatory draft picks, including the highest possible selection at the end of the third round, upping their overall haul of 2015 selections to nine.
The club received a third-rounder (97th overall) and seventh-rounder (253rd overall) due to a net loss of compensatory free agents LeGarrette Blount, Dane Fletcher, Brandon Spikesand Aqib Talib in 2014 balanced against signings of 2014 compensatory free agentsBrandon Browner and Brandon LaFell.
This gives the Patriots five of the first 101 picks in the draft, which break down this way:
First round: 32nd overall selection
Second round: 64th overall selection
Third round: 96th overall selection
Third round: 97th overall selection (compensatory pick)
Fourth round: 101st overall (from Tampa Bay)
The team will then have a fourth-rounder (131st overall), while the fifth-rounder was shipped to Tampa Bay in a trade for linebacker Jonathan Casillas, followed by a sixth-rounder and two seventh-rounders.
