The New England Patriots will round out the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, after beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in the Super Bowl earlier this month. The Patriots, led by Tom Brady, won their sixth title with Brady under center, as he set the NFL record for most rings by a single player.

Going into next season, the Patriots have more than enough question marks, but they always seem to answer them perfectly. When it comes time for them to draft, they may look to add a player who can replace talented tight end Rob Gronkowski, who some feel has played his last game in the NFL.

One of the better tight end prospects in this draft class is T.J. Hockenson from Iowa, who many predict will go in the first round this April. With New England, he would be entering an absolutely perfect situation, as tight ends have been known to really flourish with Brady getting them the ball over the past 18 seasons.

The Patriots are going to be solid once again next season, as Brady has shown that he has no intention of slowing down, and is still the elite quarterback in the NFL. It may seem like a broken record, but the Patriots have to be the favorite to win it all again heading into the off-season, and you can be sure they are going to capitalize with their first round pick this April.
