The Patriots finished the 2020 season at 7-9 following their 28-14 win over the Jets and with the regular season now over, the 2021 NFL draft order has been finalized.
New England will select No. 15 overall.
It's worth noting this will be the highest the team has picked in the draft since 2008 when Jerod Mayo was selected No. 10 overall.
For an idea of what type of player the Patriots could get at No. 15, here are the last several No. 15 overall picks.
2020: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Denver Broncos
2019: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Washington Redskins
2018: Kolton Miller, OT, Oakland Raiders
2017: Malik Hooker, S, Indianapolis Colts
2016: Corey Coleman, WR, Cleveland Browns
2015: Melvin Gordon, RB, San Diego Chargers
2014: Ryan Shazier, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers
New England has plenty of glaring needs, so it could go in a number of different directions with the pick.
