THIRD ROUND

No. 65, Raiders: T Brandon Parker, North Carolina A&T
No. 66, Giants: LB Lorenzo Carter, Georgia

8:56 p.m.: There was a lot of chatter about LSU running back Derrius Guice tumbling in the draft. Mike Mayock said on the NFL Network broadcast that teams learned of a potentially embarrassing situation that came about in recent days, with a new investigation looking into it.

The Guice talk was interrupted, though ... by Guice getting drafted by the Redskins at No. 59 overall.

8:40 p.m.: The Patriots traded up to get in to spot No. 56. With that pick, they selected Duke Dawson, cornerback out of Florida.

Belichick must have seen the run on corners and decided to make a move. The Patriots traded No. 63 (second round) and No. 117 (fourth round) to get the 56th pick. That 63rd was the Patriots' own pick, while 117 was acquired earlier tonight in a trade with Detroit.

8:38 p.m.: At No. 55, the Panthers took Donte Jackson, cornerback from LSU. That's three straight defensive backs.

8:37 p.m.: The Bengals went with Jesse Bates, safety out of Wake Forest, at No. 54.

8:35 p.m.: The Bucs picked M.J. Stewart, cornerback out of North Carolina, at No. 53.

8:30 p.m.: The Colts picked defensive end Kemoko Turay out of Rutgers at No. 52.

8:29 p.m.: The Bears used the pick acquired from the Patriots at 51st overall to take wide receiver Anthony Miller out of Memphis.

8:24 p.m.: The Patriots traded the Jimmy Garoppolo pick to acquire No. 51 overall. Now they've traded that one, too.

The Pats traded No. 51 overall (second round) for No. 105 (fourth round) this year and a 2019 second-round pick.

8:23 p.m.: The Cowboys kept it in-state, selecting tackle Connor Williams out of Texas. Williams was announced as a guard, though.

Williams was one of the players who visited the Patriots this offseason.

8:18 p.m.: The Colts traded pick No. 49 to the Eagles. With that pick, the Eagles selected Dallas Goedert, a tight end out of South Dakota State.

Former kicker David Akers spent the whole time taunting Cowboys fans. It was a bit much ... but it was kind of hilarious.

"Hey Dallas, the last time you were in a Super Bowl these draft picks weren't born!" he shouted.

Ha ha.

8:11 p.m.: At No. 48, the Chargers go with Uchenna Nwoso, an edge rusher out of USC.

8:08 p.m.: It's defensive tackle Breeland Speaks to the Chiefs at No. 46, after the Chiefs traded with the Bengals to get into the spot.

At No. 47, the Cardinals selected wide receiver Christian Kirk out of Texas A&M. Kirk had visited Foxboro in the leadup to the draft.

8:02 p.m.: The Packers selected with the 45th pick Josh Jackson, defensive back out of Iowa.

7:59 p.m.: The 49ers traded into the 44th spot and selected Dante Pettis, wide receiver out of Washington.

7:51 p.m.: The Patriots have ... traded their pick. The Patriots traded No. 43 overall to the Lions in exchange for No. 51 overall (second round) and No. 117 overall (fourth round).

So the return for Jimmy Garoppolo is not as simple as being a "second-round pick" and the accompanying player. It'll be a player picked later in the second round and a player picked in the fourth round.

The Lions used that 43rd pick to take running back Kerryon Johnson out of Auburn.

7:49 p.m.: The Dolphins went with Mike Gesicki, Penn State tight end, at No. 42 overall. Patriots are on the clock.

7:44 p.m.: Last night, the Titans traded to move up and pick Rashaan Evans just before the Patriots' spot. Tonight they traded up to move two spots ahead of New England. This time, they took Harold Landry, defensive end from Boston College.

Vince Young was on stage to make the announcement.

7:38 p.m.: The Broncos are going with a receiver. At No. 40, they're taking Courtland Sutton from SMU.

7:33 p.m.: Mike Singletary took the stage to announce the Bears' pick at No. 39: James Daniels, center from Iowa.

7:31 p.m.: Ronde Barber took the stage to announce the Bucs' pick at No. 38: Ronald Jones, USC running back.

The Patriots are five picks away.

7:25 p.m.: Former Colts running back Joseph Addai was on stage to announce two picks for Indy:

36: Darius Leonard, linebacker from South Carolina State.
37: Braden Smith, guard from Auburn

7:19 p.m.: Jim Brown was back to announce a Browns selection: Nick Chubb, Georgia running back, at No. 35 overall.

7:16 p.m.: Say this about Giants GM Dave Gettleman -- the man makes his picks quickly.

Justin Tuck was on stage to razz the Cowboys fans and to announce that the Giants drafted guard Will Hernandez.

7:13 p.m.: With the 33rd overall pick, the Browns selected offensive lineman Austin Corbett. Jim Brown was on stage to make the announcement. Corbett played tackle in college but projects as an NFL guard.

7:07 p.m.: And we're off -- the Browns are on the clock!

6 p.m.: It's time for another night of NFL Draft action, but the Patriots have already been busy today.

New England traded away its third-round pick -- No. 95 overall -- today in exchange for massive offensive tackle Trent Brown. The Patriots got pick No. 143 (a fifth-rounder) back in the deal, too. They'll make that pick on Saturday, if they keep it.

So tonight, as the draft opens up day two, the Patriots are set to make a pair of selections in the second round. They own the No. 43 overall pick, which they acquired in the famed Jimmy Garoppolo trade, as well as their own pick at No. 63.

As it stands now, they don't own any picks in the third round. So it may get quiet for the Patriots later in the evening. Or, you never know, maybe they make some moves and end up picking more than we anticipate. You never really know with Bill Belichick.

So whatever the case may be, it'll all be covered here in the live blog, as will some of the bigger news of the night and any interesting developments from around the AFC East and the rest of the league. It all kicks off at 7 p.m. ET when the Cleveland Browns select the No. 33 overall pick. Stay tuned!

Here's an up-to-the-minute list of Patriots draft picks in 2018:

Round 1, 23rd overall: Isaiah Wynn, T, Georgia
