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.
