          The New England Patriots have 11 selections in the 2016 NFL draft, which will be held April 28-30 in Chicago. Here’s a breakdown of the Patriots' selections:

          Second round: 60th overall selection

          Second round: 61st overall selection (from Arizona Cardinals)

          Third round: 91st overall selection

          Third round: 96th overall selection (compensatory)

          Sixth round: 196th overall selection (from Houston Texans)

          Sixth round: 204th overall selection (reacquired from Chicago Bears)

          Sixth round: 208th overall selection (compensatory)

          Sixth round: 214th overall selection (compensatory)

          Sixth round: 221st overall selection (compensatory)

          Seventh round: 243rd overall selection (from Houston)

          Seventh round: 250th overall selection

          The Patriots' first-round pick has been stripped by the NFL as part of Deflategate penalties. The fourth-round pick went to Chicago in the trade for tight end Martellus Bennett. The fifth-round pick went to Houston in the trade for receiver Keshawn Martin.

          Compensatory picks can not be traded until 2017.
