       FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – The New England Patriots picked Florida defensive back Duke Dawson in the second round of the NFL draft after a flurry of trades during the day.

        Dawson is a 5-foot-10, 197-pound cornerback who tied for the team lead with four interceptions last season. He picked off six passes in his career and returned three of them for touchdowns.

        The Patriots came into the day with two second round picks and a third. They traded them all, but then traded back into the second round to grab Dawson.

        New England also made a trade for offensive lineman Trent Brown from San Francisco.
