Reiss's latest quick-hit thoughts and notes references Mike Lombardi's podcast earlier in the week about teams sometimes moving down to get a chance to regroup when they miss someone.
If not for Senior Bowl, Patriots might have shied away from top draft picks
For those who didn't listen, I'd highly recommend listening to this specific episode, lots of draft war room stories from Lombardi's time with the Raiders and Patriots including another tidbit about Jimmy G which is also covered in Reiss's piece.
He also talks about the Senior Bowl and it's impact on our draft. Overall, good article and podcast to check out for those who haven't.
