After the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft, the New England Patriots will enter the third day of the draft having already drafted one defensive back to address their aging secondary, two linebackers to address their thin linebacker group, and two tight ends to address their lack of production at the position last year.
The Patriots have done a great job so far of retooling the team after losing a handful of players in free agency, and they currently have six more draft picks in rounds five through seven. The need/want for a quarterback is more intriguing than the Patriots could have prepared for at this point in the draft.
