In a move to add a bit more depth up front to their offensive line, New England has traded away an undisclosed draft pick to Atlanta to acquire offensive guard Quinn Ojinnaka, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post.

Ojinnaka isn’t likely to find his way into the starting lineup any time soon, but he should provide a solid body to plug into the fold if need be. The draft pick compensation isn’t expected to be significant and will likely be a late round selection at best.

The fifth year veteran started 12 games and played in 39 contests for the Falcons, but he’ll have to wait to make an appearance in a Patriots uniform, as he’s been suspended for one game by the league as a result of a domestic violence incident he had in the off-season with his wife.
