Full 7-round mock draft for the Patriots

Last season the New England Patriots went through some serious ups and downs, especially related to the quarterback position. But despite all that, this team finished the season 8-9 and assuming they sort out who is starting at quarterback will be back in the mix for the playoffs.

So when it came to doing a full mock draft, we were excited by all those draft picks and some big-time upgrade potential.

We went a little of everywhere with this draft. Starting off with one of the top interior defensive linemen in the draft in Bryan Bresee and following him up with an explosive weapon at wide receiver as well as a potential shutdown cornerback.

Go through the picks and let us know what you think in the comments.
