Predicting what the New England Patriots will do during any draft might be the hardest thing in the NFL to try and read. Before we even made it to the first round, the Patriots were wheeling and dealing day three picks, changing the course of any full 7-round 2022 NFL Mock Draft. It’s one thing to deal first round picks in the week leading up to the draft, but moving a fifth round selection before having any idea who could fall that far is a wild decision, even for Bill Belichick. Yet, we shouldn’t be surprised. It’s what he does. So now, the Patriots enter the 2022 NFL Draft with nine picks over the seven rounds. They hold one selection each round with three in the sixth. That could change with trading back, something we’ve watch Belicheck do in the past, but as of now this is where the Patriots stand. But what could they use those picks on?
