Pencils down! It's time to share some final thoughts on what the Patriots can, should and will do in this year's NFL Draft. Is it just going to be Will Campbell? Is there a case for Ashton Jeanty? How can they approach the need at wide receiver? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley cover it all as the NFL Draft is finally, at long last here.

The Giants hosted Shadeur Sanders for a private workout this week. Does that mean the Patriots MIGHT have a chance to draft Abdul Carter at No. 4? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to weight that possibility, parse through what Mike Vrabel said at his pre-draft press conference, debate Adam Vinatieri vs. Julian Edelman in the team hall of fame debate, and weigh in on whatever the heck is going on with Bill Belichick at UNC.

Mock Draft SZN rolls on as Doug Kyed presents his latest batch of picks for the Patriots. With the picture somewhat taking shape in the top three spots, it's looking like the Patriots may have to "settle" at No. 4. But there are loads of options, including trades down (and up from the second round), and Doug and Michael Hurley explore them all. There's also an extended Joe Milton conversation, because that thing has turned into a mess, and some Blink 182/Linkin Park/Brand New/Warped Tour conversation for the pop punkers out there.

The Patriots have traded backup quarterback Joe Milton III to the Cowboys, getting a fifth-round pick from Dallas (while sending a seventh-round pick over to the Cowboys in the process). Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley sort out whether this was a good, bad or medium return for the Patriots, while also running through some of Josh McDaniels' press conference comments and then offering some really sage thoughts on press conferences in general.

Doug Kyed is back from the NFL owners meetings (after some classic sports journalist travel snafus), and he and Michael Hurley recap what stood out from Robert Kraft's and Mike Vrabel's public comments in Florida. There's also some good Bill Parcells Patriots Hall of Fame discussion, and an impromptu Ashton Jeanty vs. Tyler Warren debate. And of course it wouldn't be a Pats Chat episode without some Will Campbell arm length talk.
