The New England Patriots had some questionable drafts from 2015-2019, leaving the 2020 Patriots void of Tom Brady and young talent, which forced Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft to uncharacteristically overspend in 2021 free agency to make the roster competitive enough.
Flash forward to 2022, and the Patriots find themselves as one of the more promising “rebuilding” franchises in the league. Although the Patriots aren’t contenders just yet, they have rapidly built the foundations of sustained success over the last few drafts.
