FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- What might the New England Patriots be looking for at the center/guard position in the 2018 NFL draft?
Need rating: Ninth
Current personnel: David Andrews (center), Joe Thuney (guard), Shaq Mason (guard), Ted Karras (center/guard), Cole Croston (guard/tackle), Luke Bowanko (guard/center), Matt Tobin (guard/tackle), James Ferentz (center), Jason King (guard)
What's missing? Nothing in the short term as the Patriots return their starting interior (Andrews, Thuney, Mason) for the third straight year, which is ideal continuity.
