2014 NFL Draft: Patriots Rookie Free Agents

The New England Patriots role in the 2014 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and the team made a total of nine selections, including seven on day three.

The Patriots entered the draft with 24 roster spots to fill, and with the nine draft selections, they still have another 15 to go.   That means that the team should be fairly active in rookie free agency, as there's really no reason for the team shouldn't get to the roster maximum of 90 in the coming days.

The most active time in rookie free agency will come in the minutes and hours following the conclusion of the draft.  We will continue to update this page with each signing that we can confirm as it comes in.  We'll follow up later with further analysis on each player.
