Getting to know Pats’ rookie class

The Patriots will unveil their rookie class this week, beginning with the introduction today of first-round draft pick Malcom Brown. Here’s a look at this year’s draft class, which is seeing on-field work with veteran teammates for the first time during this week’s OTA workouts:

MALCOM BROWN, DL

Picked: 1st round, 32nd overall

School: Texas

Upside: Highly productive and athletic interior lineman with the versatility to play multiple positions. Was named a first-team All-American in 2014.

Downside: Is believed to have less-than-dominant power from his lower body and needs to develop secondary pass-rush moves.
