This is a mock that combines what I think will happen in the draft with what I would do at the Pats picks. I didn’t not mock any players so they would fall to the Pats, this is honestly how I see it playing out (obviously it won’t play out like this it’s just my opinion). As a draft guy I love as many picks as I can, so I traded down multiple times to pick up addition picks and target my guys.
When looking at the draft I try to look at players in 3 groups; starters, contributors and competition. Obviously early on you want starters, in the middle rounds you want contributors and later on you are just looking for guys to compete for a roster spot. With the current roster structure of the Pats and the dynamics of this draft I don’t think there are too many starters, so I looked to trade down and stock up on contributors that have the potential to develop into starters.
