FOXBORO -- The NFL Draft is finally here. We've all survived enjoyed months and months of rumors, mocks drafts, film breakdowns, more rumors, trades, other mock drafts, even more rumors, and plenty of smokescreens to reach this point.
And this is an important point for the New England Patriots, who are armed with the third overall selection and an opportunity to draft a potential franchise quarterback. That is, unless they get a massive haul in exchange for that third pick, which would help them plug some holes elsewhere on the roster while still potentially landing a QB later in the draft.
