The New England Patriots are changing many things from a season ago, including how they approach the draft.
That’s what the important people in Foxboro, Mass., are saying, at least.
Eliot Wolf spoke to Patriots season-ticket holders at a team event Sunday and acknowledged New England drafted too much for need last year, per MassLive’s Karen Guregian. The executive vice president of player personnel proceeded to claim the Patriots will employ more of a “best player available” approach to this year’s draft — a sentiment he also shared at last month’s NFL Scouting Combine.
However, New England fans probably shouldn’t put too much stock into Wolf’s remark.
