With the NFL Scouting Combine taking place this week, I thought I’d give my personal thoughts about how I try to approach handling analysis on the draft. The Patriots will be looking to add young talent to bolster a championship level roster. Last offseason, the Patriots applied more of a veteran-heavy approach thanks to great drafting from 2011-2015 that led to the team having a boatload of cap space to spend. This year, I think they take the normal approach towards bolstering the middle class of their roster. The only players that would be a consensus Top 10 player on the team that scheduled to hit free agency are LT Nate Solder and RB Dion Lewis.
The NFL Draft has become a big media circus event during the months of February through May. I lay out my thoughts on handling draft season and how the Patriots have done so in the past.
