The New England Patriots apparently looked at last season’s interior defensive line performance and decided that changes needed to be made. Free agency was the first step in this process with Davon Godchaux, Henry Anderson and Montravius Adams all being added as unrestricted free agents. New England also re-signed Lawrence Guy, Deatrich Wise Jr. and Carl Davis to further bolster the depth up front.
While all those moves helped raise the floor at the position, the Patriots were not done just yet. In the second day of the NFL Draft, they also moved up eight spots to add Alabama’s Christian Barmore to the equation.
