The New England Patriots are going to have a busy Thursday night. New England has two picks in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. After a tough free agency period, the Patriots have a few needs that they could address early in the draft.
Nate Solder, Malcolm Butler, Dion Lewis and Danny Amendola were the biggest defectors this offseason, while Brandin Cooks was traded away as well. Some of those players can be replaced in-house.
Julian Edelman, Kenny Britt and Chris Hogan will be relied upon at wide receiver.
