ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. reveals final 2023 NFL Draft grade for Patriots originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots entered the 2023 NFL Draft with 11 picks, and after trading down in the first round, they ended up with 12 selections.
Head coach Bill Belichick and his staff had a lot of ammo to move up in the draft, but they didn't make many trades. The result was 12 new rookies added to the roster.
Offensive tackle and wide receiver were two positions that garnered most of the pre-draft attention from a Patriots' perspective.
