Former Patriots exec Michael Lombardi spoke at length about the NFL Draft process on his podcast over at the Ringer. He shared stories about his times with the Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, and the New England Patriots.
Lombardi talked about how teams trade down in the draft if they need to buy time, especially in the special case where all of their desired selections go off the board in the picks prior.
But the part I found most interesting was about the 2015 NFL Draft when Lombardi was a member of the Patriots front office.
