Patriots Trade Up To Raiders’ No. 91, Draft TE Devin Asiasi

The Patriots swung a deal to move up to the Raiders’ No. 91 overall pick, bringing them back into the third round.

Patriots acquire:

• No. 91
• No. 159

Raiders acquire:

• No. 100
• No. 139
• No. 172

With the 91st pick, the Patriots selected tight end Devin Asiasi, their first offensive player of draft weekend. Asiasi offers speed and good blocking technique, but scouts say he needs to spend some time pumping iron in order to adjust to the pro game.

The UCLA product figures to play a key role for the Pats in 2020, but you can expect them to explore veteran options between now and the start of the season. Trey Burton, Jordan Reed, and Charles Clay are among the free agent tight ends still left on the market.
