The first round of the 2017 NFL Draft starts Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET.
The New England Patriots don’t have a first-round pick, but expect them to closely monitor the action, especially with rumors surrounding the futures of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and cornerback Malcolm Butler.
NESN.com’s Courtney Cox caught up with some of the draft prospects ahead of the first round, and you can hear what they said in the video above from “NESN Live,” presented by Cross Insurance.
