(WHDH) — The New England Patriots reportedly swung a trade with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday to acquire a starting-caliber offensive tackle.
ESPN’s Field Yates says the Patriots have acquired Trent Brown and pick 143 (fifth round) in this weekend’s draft in exchange for pick 95 (third round).
Brown, a three-year veteran, has started 26 games at right tackle for San Francisco.
The Patriots drafted potential left tackle Isiah Wynn out of Georiga Thursday night in the first round of the draft.
The 49ers are trading OT Trent Brown and pick number 143 overall to the Patriots in exchange for pick number 95 overall, sources tell @AdamSchefter and me. The deal is pending a physical.
