After what has turned out to be a disastrous draft class during the lone season of Jerod Mayo, the Patriots needed to hit it out of the park this year, and so far, it looks like they have accomplished that. It was crucial to add the kind of talent the team had been lacking, so prioritizing specific positions was a must, especially in the early rounds.
They did that by picking the best left tackle of the class with Will Campbell, and followed that up by taking one of the most explosive running back options in TreVeyon Henderson.
