The NFL Draft is now less than three weeks away and teams are hosting prospects for “Top 30” visits as they make final preparations on who they want on their squad for the long-term future.
The Patriots hold the No. 21 overall pick and could go in several directions with their first selection. They still have needs at cornerback, linebacker, and on the offensive line to fill. Wide receiver and the defensive line might not be as pressing, but the Patriots can certainly improve at those spots, too.
NFL Network’s Mike Giardi, who covers the Patriots for the league’s flagship channel, believes New England could select someone in the trenches with its first-round pick.
