The New England Patriots have a few holes to fill on their roster before the season, and the 2013 NFL Draft gives them five opportunities to do so. The Patriots have approached the draft different ways in the past: from letting the board fall to them by trading down to moving up for a player they really like. Five picks is not as many as the Patriots are used to having, so the former may be in order.
It's impossible to guess what coach Bill Belichick is going to do, though, so why bother?
Instead, this is one man's opinion on the best-case scenario for the Patriots in the draft, assuming they stay at all of their current draft slots.
