For the younger readers of Pats Pulpit dot com, welcome — to the first NFL Draft in your lifetime where the draft really starts with the New England Patriots.
For the readers my age and older of Pats Pulpit dot com, welcome back — to the first draft in around 30 years that starts with the New England Patriots, since the 1993 draft figuratively and literally started with the New England Patriots.
