The Patriots use the draft to develop young players who are to eventually replace veterans on the roster as the latter group of players become too old or expensive to keep around. While the Patriots’ draft record of late has been unlucky at certain spots, the team has continued to win regardless. As the core from the 2010 decade continues to age, the Patriots have a lot of draft capital to replace those players with 12 draft picks with 6 of them being in the Top 100. The Patriots should be looking at these positions when it comes to the NFL Draft.
