The New England Patriots failed to make the playoffs after losing to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18, which means their offseason has already begun.
One of the most important events of the offseason for the Patriots will be the 2023 NFL Draft. New England has eight picks in this draft, and it should also receive some compensatory picks when those are finalized.
The Patriots will begin the draft at No. 14 overall in Round 1. It's their highest first-round pick since 2008, when they drafted University of Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo at No 10.
