NEEDHAM, Mass. —
The NFL Draft begins Thursday, and the New England Patriots really need to get it right — it is their most important draft in decades.
New England possesses the third overall pick, the 34th pick, the 68th pick and others in later rounds, for a total of eight picks.
The team also has a lot of needs, the biggest of which, we all know, is a quarterback. They also need a left tackle and a game-changing wide receiver.
If they don't get this draft right, it may set them back years.
