Mock drafts have Patriots taking a variety of players in first round

BOSTON -- The NFL Draft is getting close. It's also pretty far away.

Free agency hasn't even begun, so it's not clear what teams' needs will be when the draft finally does roll around at the end of April.

Yet with the Scouting Combine in the rearview, mock draft season is revving up. And the mock drafters all seem to have very different ideas of what the Patriots will be doing in the first round.

The Patriots own the No. 14 pick in the draft. Whether they trade down, trade up, or use the pick they have, well, nobody knows.
