ESPN’s Mel Kiper released his latest 3-round mock draft and it’s a great reminder that the New England Patriots have a ridiculous number of early draft picks. It was just two years ago when the Patriots just had a pair of third round picks at the start of the 2017 NFL Draft, which made mock draft season incredibly boring.
Well, now the Patriots have a first rounder, a pair of second rounders, and a trio of third rounders.
“Look at all these picks,” Kiper writes. “No team takes advantage of the compensatory system like the Patriots, who have two third-round comp picks in this draft and will likely get two more in 2020.
