Patriots’ Potential First-Round Picks Include Jaelen Strong, Mario Edwards Jr.

We’re hours away from the 2015 NFL Draft, and it can’t come soon enough.

There’s a long lull between the start of free agency and the draft, and the New England Patriots haven’t made the wait any easier by having a relatively quiet signing period. Bill Belichick has kept fans and the media in the dark regarding the Patriots’ draft interests, but based on their current roster, New England’s biggest needs are at defensive tackle, guard and cornerback.

The Patriots also could boost their depth at running back, wide receiver and linebacker early in the draft, and adding a pass rusher or safety never is out of the question. They also could elect to trade up or down from the 32nd overall pick. Absolutely anything is possible for the Patriots.

NESN.com compiled a list of 13 players who could be available with the 32nd overall pick and seem to fit what the Patriots are looking for this offseason.
