Guregian: Patriots loom as wild card to make for crazy NFL draft week

Perhaps there’s a little bit of a ho-hum feeling heading into this year’s NFL draft when it comes to the Patriots.

They enter the week without a first- or second-round pick. Bill Belichick doesn’t get a turn at bat until the third round. So the anticipation and excitement level has been somewhat muted.

The reality of the Patriots position, however, isn’t boring at all. It’s full of possibilities.

They’re the wild card in this draft.

That means the moments leading up to the first round Thursday night will be anything but uneventful for the Hoodie.
