As the defending Super Bowl Champions, the New England Patriots are poised for another great season in 2017. Even though they will have a target on their back, the Patriots have done very well in the offseason to ensure they have a chance to repeat.
Even though they didn’t have a pick in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft, the Patriots were still able to have a strong draft class despite making just four picks. The additions of players like Brandin Cooks, Kony Ealy, Mike Gillislee and Dwayne Allen for draft picks will help the Patriots immensely in 2017.
