Last Friday, the New England Patriots were awarded an NFL-high four compensatory draft picks to bring their total to twelve selections — six of them in the first three rounds. Safe to say that the club has the ammunition to move all over the board and target whichever area it wants to address. One of them could very well be a defensive line that will see Trey Flowers, Malcom Brown and Danny Shelton all headed towards free agency.
And while there is a chance that at least one of them returns to New England, the Patriots might want to infuse young talent nevertheless.
