Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who was at North Attleboro Middle School Wednesday along with players Patrick Chung and Jonas Gray to support the school's outstanding fundraising efforts in the Hoops for Heart charity, said that he believes this year's NFL draft, which kicks off Thursday night, has good depth but lacks the amount of top-end talent that some others have had in recent years.
The Patriots, who have nine picks heading into Thursday night, may be in a good position, according to Kraft, since he believes the talent in the middle rounds is substantial.
