The 2019 NFL Scouting Combine took place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis over the last week, giving teams and the media more information on the top prospects in April's 2019 NFL Draft.
The New England Patriots were well-represented in Indy, with head coach Bill Belichick and defensive coach Greg Schiano both spotted at the event scouting players.
The Pats are one of the most interesting teams to watch as the draft approaches.
They have a league-high 12 picks, including six in the first three rounds, and they could have a lot of roster holes to fill depending on the free agency situations involving Trey Flowers, Trent Brown and Stephen Gostkowski. New England also could use some of these draft picks to make a bold trade for a star player to maximize quarterback Tom Brady's remaining career.
There are many different scenarios for Belichick to consider, but as of this writing, no reports have surfaced suggesting the Patriots will trade their first-round pick (32nd overall).
With that in mind, here's a roundup of the latest mock draft predictions for the Patriots' first-round pick.
