As we get set for night two, here's a quick list of Patriots picks from the second round since 2000:
2000 (46th) Adrian Klemm - T - Hawaii
2001 (48th) Matt Light - T - Purdue
2002 (65th) Deion Branch - WR - Louisville
2003 (36th) Eugene Wilson - FS - Illinois
2003 (45th) Bethel Johnson - WR - Texas A&M
2004 (63rd) Marquise Hill - DE - Louisiana State
2006 (36nd) Chad Jackson - WR - Florida
2008 (62nd) Terrence Wheatley - CB - Colorado
2009 (34th) Pat Chung - DB - Oregon
2009 (40th) Ron Brace - DT - Boston College
2009 (41st) Darius Butler - DB - Connecticut
2009 (58th) Sebastian Vollmer - T - Houston
2010 (42nd) Rob Gronkowski - TE - Arizona
2010 (53rd) Jermaine Cunningham - OLB - Florida
2010 (62nd) Brandon Spikes - ILB - Florida
2011 (33rd) Ras-I Dowling - DB - Virginia
2011 (56th) Shane Vereen - RB - California
2012 (48th) Tavon Wilson - FS - Illinois
2013 (52nd) Jamie Collins - OLB - Southern Mississippi
2013 (59th) Aaron Dobson - WR - Marshall
2014 (62nd) Jimmy Garoppolo - QB - Eastern Illinois
The Patriots have grabbed some good players over the years, although it's been hit or miss for the most part. Some of the bigger highlights include Light (2001) and Branch (2002), as well as Gronkowski (2010), Vereen (2011), and Collins (2013). Last year saw them take Jimmy Garoppolo, who seems like he's off to a good start behind Brady. Hopefully they grab some additional talent tonight when they make their pick with the 64th overall selection.
