Mailbag: A look at the Patriots’ draft day plans, Tom Brady’s successor, and Celtics playoff predictions

Welcome back to the Boston.com sports mailbag. Every week we’ll respond to your questions about the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and anything else tangentially related to Boston sports. Have a thought, theory, or question for the mailbag? Send them into mailbag@globe.com.
