The New England Patriots have entered the 2023 offseason earlier than they would have hoped, but at the very least they are in a comfortable position while doing so: the team is among the league leaders in available capital, both from a free agency and a draft perspective.
As far as the draft is concerned, the Patriots are the current owners of the 14th overall pick in the first found as well as seven other selections further down the board. That number, however, is projected to see some growth in the coming weeks: according to a recent analysis published by Over The Cap’s Nick Korte, New England is in line to receive three extra picks through the NFL’s compensatory process.
