NFL Draft 2011: Patriots Have Two First-Round Picks, Six Selections In First Three Rounds

With the NFL labor negotiations, subsequent lockout and, most recently (as in, Monday night), Judge Susan Nelson ruling in favor of the players and lifting said lockout, you may have have forgotten how many picks the New England Patriots have in the 2011 NFL Draft, or when it is (the first round begins Thursday night), or when Bill Belichick and company are drafting. Consider this your quick refresher. 

The 2011 NFL Draft begins Thursday night, with Round 1, at 8 p.m. ET. Friday night has Rounds 2-3, beginning at 6 p.m., and Rounds 4-7 begin Saturday, at 12 p.m. All seven rounds will air on ESPN and NFL Network. 

The Patriots, as usual, have a stockpile of pick: two in the first round, three of the first 33 selections, and six in the first three rounds. Here's a rundown of all their picks (via Patriots.com): 

 

Round Selection Overall How Acq.
