2018 NFL Draft: How I think the Patriots will play the first round and beyond

The New England Patriots have a lot of draft capital this year as they pick 23rd, 31st, 43rd, 63rd, and 95th before taking a break and then pick 198th, 210th, and 219th.

There are rumors of trading up for quarterbacks, clear vacancies in the starting lineup in the wake of free agency, and some needs to preemptively fill with eyes on the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

So what are the Patriots going to do? They have plenty of options. I’m going to try and parse through what we know about the team’s habits, the current state of the roster, and the top prospects in the draft to create an action plan for New England.
