Patriots likely to have league’s best haul of compensatory picks

The Patriots pick near the bottom of the draft order every year, but one of the ways they manage to replenish their roster season after season is by acquiring compensatory picks. And this year will be no exception.

Although the NFL has not yet announced the compensatory picks for the 2020 NFL draft, Nick Korte of OverTheCap.com has projected the picks using data from how the NFL has awarded compensatory picks in the past, and the Patriots appear to have the best haul of compensatory picks in the league coming.

The highest compensatory picks are in the third round, and New England is expected to be the only team with two third-round compensatory picks.
