Coming off a disappointing season, the New England Patriots have plenty of work to do to get back into the playoff mix. That work continued with the NFL Draft, and the team sure was busy over those three days: a total of 12 draft picks and three undrafted free agents were added to the mix.

The depth chart below, based on an idea from our friends at Pride Of Detroit, is designed to give fans a brief overview of where the team stands at this point in the process. Players who are projected as starters have been marked accordingly (asterisk*), as are those not on the 90-man roster due to injury are also (italics), and players currently not officially under contract for 2023 (dot°).

So, with that said, let’s take a look at New England’s current depth chart.
