FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — After focusing exclusively on defense with their first three picks, the New England Patriots used the final day of the NFL draft to address their offense and special teams.
The Patriots entered Saturday expecting to be busy with nine draft picks spread over the final four rounds.
They came in as one of two teams to not draft an offensive player during the first two days, but ended up spending multiple picks on offensive linemen and wide receivers.
The possibility of New England featuring rookies at both punter and kicker is in play after it used some of the team’s draft capital to select players from each position.
