The Patriots have 12 picks in this draft. It is almost a certainty that the Patriots will not draft 12 players. Bill Belichick will use his picks to maneuver around the board and take the best players available. If the Patriots used all 12 picks, here is who I think they would take. Round 1, Pick 32: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU: Williams will fall right into the Patriots lap at 32….
