The draft is in the books and as is the case every year, its outcome will have an enormous impact on the NFL in both the short and the long term. How exactly this impact will look like is anybody’s guess at the moment — the draft is still a crap-shoot to a certain degree. The early evaluations of the New England Patriots’ selections certainly are encouraging, though, and it seems as if the oddsmakers feel the same way about the team.
The latest Super Bowl odds released by BetOnline.ag show that the Patriots are still considered as the team to beat heading into the quieter parts of the 2019 offseason:
New England Patriots: 8/1
The number did not change in either direction since the last time BetOnline released its Super Bowl 54 odds following free agency — and that is despite Rob Gronkowski announcing his retirement since.
