I think, as winner of the 2018 Super Bowl, we should get the first 96 picks in the draft, sort out 12 we want and release the rest back into the "Rest Of The NFL" draft. Seems appropriate considering all the personnel we've lost out on over the years because of the idiocy of the Goondell.
NEEDS: QB, outside WR, TE, OT (if Brown walks), entire DL, SS
I definitely would have said LB at the beginning of the season but surprisingly it's better than expected. KVN has been great, we get Bentley back and Hightower actually looked like a good NFL player during the Super Bowl. It'd be good to get more depth in this unit but I'm okay with these guys going forward.
TJ Hockenson, if available and assuming we don't trade down, should be our first round pick regardless of whether Gronk retires or not IMO.
I think Cooks is soft. He drops the touchdown pass (remember David Tyree?), and does not fight on the Gilmore interception. Don't need guys like that - we need competitors.
If they don't re-sign Trent Brown, they have to go T yet again in the first round. I don't trust Wynn since we haven't seen him do the job. La'Adrian Waddle is a UFA, so they should resign him as a backup. He's not a starter by any means.
If they do come to terms with Brown, I think Belichick goes DT/DE this year at #32 - If BC's Zach Allen is there, they should grab him. Good run stopper, good pass rusher, versatile defensive lineman. He smart - All ACC Academic Team. Just the kind of kid they need.
The other guy on my list is the MLB from Clemson - Tre Lamar. Decent size (6'3" 250) and great speed, and projected 2-3 rounder. Another guy who can drop into coverage and play from a down position to rush the passer. Reminds me of Kyle Van Noy.

Oh my sweet summer child.Stidham could be a steal. He struggled in college last year but only because he had a subpar offensive line and couldnt stay upright. look at the 2017 tape. He has a cannon arm
You would think, from perusing the SteelerFury website with their fixation on alleged Patriot cheating, that Belichick and company would have long ago resorted to such a tactic.Draft whatever WR Pittsburgh is high on
Tackles, particularly left tackles, take time to develop in the NFL. I do not think anybody should trust a virtual rookie to protect the bind side of the 42-year-old TFB. The move by Belichick to bring in Trent Brown as part II of the Jimmy G trade after deciding to move on from Nate Solder has not been celebrated enough. Trent Brown was superb.
I don't think he will. We saw how he was threatened by Jimmy G. I just think he's too competetive to be come his own caretaker for the position while they groom the next guy.One issue with doing it this way is that you lose the ability of Tom to directly mentor the young QB. I think it's big for a young QB to experience Tom's greatness, approach to the game, approach to film, etc. in real time rather than Tom in an advisory role after he retires. That's assuming Tom agrees to be an advisor or QB coach or something.
Weird, CBS Sports has a new story on possible 2019 Pats draft needs but doesn't list or mention the 2 3rd round comp picks the Pats have, sloppy reporting.
Lotsa people thought the season was over in November too...lotsa people are dumb ba$tardsLots of people were worried that fat Trent Brown would struggle mightily.
Yuck.If we don't re-sign Brown, OT will become the highest priority for the first two rounds, perhaps along with QB.
Nice crop of DT’s and TE’s this draft class.
If Hockenson is available it’s gonna be hard not to the pull the trigger on him, regardless of team needs.
