Draft season is one of my favorite times of the year because championship teams are built over the spring and summer months. I’ve already looked at the New England Patriots’ biggest roster needs, and now I’m going to show how the Patriots should address them.
As a recap, I said the Patriots’ biggest needs are at wide receiver and tight end, closely followed by offensive tackle. Then there’s a need at quarterback, interior offensive line, and on the defensive line.
The way that the draft board looks to me, based on depth of each position and the positions of need for New England, I would actually expect them to take a defensive lineman in the first round.
