Yeah, trading out of the pick that the Patriots used to get Chandler Jones is a bit of a bummer. Also, since this was 2012, at the time their #1 RB was a guy coming off a 667 yard (3.7 YPC) season named Benjarvus Green-Ellis, and they hadn't drafted Bernard yet, so Doug Martin wouldn't have been a bad pick instead of Kirkpatrick either. Or do what I wanted them to do at the time and that was either trade up for Luke Kuechly (woulda been nice to later end up with Kuechly AND Burfict) or double up on guards by taking both DeCastro and Zeitler and laugh at the Steelers by both taking their pick and then using it to run all over their faces for a decade.
