The New England Patriots had two 5th round picks (No.158 and No.170) and the Texans had three 6th-rounders (No.183, No. 205, and No. 207).
The specifics here, per source:
The Texans receive pick 170.
The Patriots receive picks 183 and 245. https://t.co/6coQGHeSfT

Field Yates is reporting that the Texans will receive pick 170, and the Pats will receive picks 183 and 245.
This trade helps the Texans, as they did not have a pick in the 5th round before the trade. The Texans now have a pick in every round except the 7th, and have multiple picks in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th rounds.

Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
