2024 NFL Draft: Where - Who - Are Patriots Picking?
Rookie Kayshon Boutte just signed his contract and first-round cornerback Christian Gonzalez is still months from his first professional interception.
But with the 2023 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, here's a look at how many selections the New England Patriots will have next year. How many picks - and in what rounds - will the Pats have in the 2024 NFL Draft?
Early - and we mean early - mock drafts have the Patriots selecting an offensive lineman next April. The Pats' picks ...
Round 1: The Patriots have the rights to their own first-round pick.
Round 2: The Patriots have the rights to their own second-round pick. Bill Belichick and company found a diamond in the rough in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft, when they selected future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski with the 42nd overall pick.
Round 3: The Patriots have the rights to their own third-round pick.
Round 4: The Patriots have the rights to their own fourth-round pick.
Round 5: The Patriots have the rights to their own fifth-round pick.
Round 6: The Patriots have the rights to their own sixth-round pick. Of course, this is the same round that the Patriots selected Tom Brady in during the 2000 NFL Draft, almost certainly the best value pick in the history of professional sports.
Round 6: This pick originally belonged to the Las Vegas Raiders, but was acquired in the September 2022 trade that sent offensive tackle Justin Herron and a 2024 seventh round pick west.
Round 7: New England acquired this selection from the Bears in July of 2022 when they traded former first-round pick N'Keal Harry to Chicago.
