Even though the New England Patriots‘ 2019 draft class has garnered a lot of criticism since the close of the season, the team clearly had a good idea of its own needs at the time.
Multiple offensive linemen, a quick running back, and a pair of wide receivers — these are all the right ingredients for the team this past season, and they should have helped the Pats blow past the competition last year.
