As they say: the draft starts in Mobile.
That rings extra important for the New England Patriots this year, as they hold the No. 3 overall pick in the draft — the organization’s highest selection since 1993. While many of the top projected prospects won’t be in Alabama for the Senior Bowl, New England will still get a first-hand look at many highly ranked draft eligible prospects.
The Senior Bowl has been of heavy interest for the Patriots in recent years. Last year, the Patriots added five players who appeared in the all-star game: Keion White, Marte Mapu, Jake Andrews, Chad Ryland, and Bryce Baringer.
