The New England Patriots are heading into the 2022 NFL draft with the 21st overall pick and eight other selections. It’s unclear how much they like where they’re sitting at 21. From what I’m hearing from inside the organization, the Patriots aren’t expecting to get exactly what they want in that first-round slot. The draft has depth from picks 30 to 90. There are also just 10 to 15 elite prospects. And so New England is sitting in one of the least valuable spots in the draft. Can Bill Belichick move up? Or down? That’s one of the many problems we attempt to solve in this mock draft, our last of the 2022 mock draft season.
