In the interest of clarity, I need to correct my previous post:
Patriots start with #32 in the 4th round, but that was taken away so they don't have it.
Suppose NE trades for #10 and #20 in the 4th round.
#32 is returned to NE and #10 is taken away, so they own #20 and #32.
Please note that since #10 is taken away, those 2 picks become #19 and #31.
Also, the #31 pick jumps over the NY Giants due to their penalty from Walkie-Talkie gate.
So, to conclude the hypothetical, NE would own #19 and #30 within the 4th round.
The most pathetic thing is if you look at it from a certain point of view, the Patriots lost their draft pick in the 4th round, and the one they traded the Saints for gets dropped about 20 spots. That 20-spot drop ALONE is still twice the severity of the punishment the Giants received for blatantly violating league rules on live national TV.
In conclusion, that's how much of an ******* Goodell is.
