Phil Perry provides insight and overall draft grade for the Patriots 50th overall pick, wide receiver out of Baylor, Tyquan Thornton.

The New England Patriots added to their wide receiver depth chart Friday by selecting Baylor star Tyquan Thornton in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Will they move a wideout off their roster during Day 3 of the draft?

NFL Network's Mike Giardi reported Saturday that N'Keal Harry is "very much available" on the trade market.

Harry was the Patriots' first-round pick (32nd overall) in 2019. He has been a draft bust so far with just 57 receptions for 598 yards and four touchdowns over three pro seasons. 

The former Arizona State wideout requested a trade in 2021 but the Patriots ended up keeping him through the season. Harry played in 12 games and caught 12 passes for 184 yards and zero touchdowns.

At this point, it makes sense for both the Patriots and Harry to part ways. The most logical return for Harry is a late-round pick, which is why Day 3 of the draft would be a good time to trade him.
