The New England Patriots will have four compensatory picks at their disposal in the 2019 NFL draft.

It is the maximum allotment. It’s also an allotment that head coach Bill Belichick’s war room, carrying dozen picks in all, is cleared to trade.

But who has entered the league at New England’s upcoming compensatory slots over the past 10 drafts?

Consider the names at Nos. 97, 101, 205 and 252 overall since 2009 only a reference point for what personnel and scouting departments around the league have done.

And also a bit of trivia.

NO. 97 OVERALL

2018: Mason Cole, OL, Michigan

Mason Cole, OL, Michigan 2017: Cordrea Tankersley, DB, Clemson

Cordrea Tankersley, DB, Clemson 2016: Rees Odhiambo, OL, Boise State

Sione Fua, DT, Stanford 2010: Rennie Curran, LB, Georgia

Rennie Curran, LB, Georgia 2009: Tyrone McKenzie, LB, South Florida

New England filled out the draft card for Oklahoma frontman Geneo Grissom at the close of the third round in 2015. The same went for South Florida’s Tyrone McKenzie, now the Tennessee Titans’ linebackers coach, in 2009. As far as the top player to go No. 97 overall over the past decade, Lamar Miller, a fourth-rounder and twice a 1,000-yard rusher, has a case.

NO. 101 OVERALL

2018: Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana

Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana 2017: Brendan Langley, DB, Lamar

Brendan Langley, DB, Lamar 2016: Charles Tapper, DE, Oklahoma

Clint Boling, OL, Georgia 2010: Mike Williams, WR, Syracuse

Mike Williams, WR, Syracuse 2009: Stephen McGee, QB, Texas A&M

The last 10 drafts have seen the Patriots make one selection at pick No. 101. And Belichick, Nick Caserio and Co. made it count. Arkansas defensive end Trey Flowers has accrued 164 tackles, 21 sacks and five forced fumbles over New England’s past three regular seasons. The 25-year-old is now on the doorstep of unrestricted free agency this March.

NO. 205 OVERALL

2018: Trevon Young, DE, Louisville

Trevon Young, DE, Louisville 2017: Jeremiah Ledbetter, DE, Arkansas

Jeremiah Ledbetter, DE, Arkansas 2016: Harlan Miller, DB, Southeastern Louisiana

Harlan Miller, DB, Southeastern Louisiana 2015: Josh Robinson, RB, Mississippi State

Josh Robinson, RB, Mississippi State 2014: Luke Bowanko, OL, Virginia

Stacy McGee, DT, Oklahoma 2012: Billy Winn, DT, Boise State

Billy Winn, DT, Boise State 2011: Lazarius Levingston, DT, LSU

Lazarius Levingston, DT, LSU 2010: Ted Larsen, OL, North Carolina State

Ted Larsen, OL, North Carolina State 2009: Ra’Shon Harris, DT, Oregon

Last spring, the Patriots owned the rights to No. 205 before sending it to the Cleveland Browns as part of the deal for cornerback Jason McCourty. Among the others with Patriots ties here are interior linemen Ted Larsen, who entered with New England in 2009, and Luke Bowanko. Just missing the 10-draft cutoff is former Mount Union wide receiver Pierre Garcon.

NO. 252 OVERALL

2018: Rod Taylor, OL, Mississippi

Rod Taylor, OL, Mississippi 2017: Matthew Dayes, RB, North Carolina State

Matthew Dayes, RB, North Carolina State 2016: Beau Sandland, TE, Montana State

Beau Sandland, TE, Montana State 2015: Josh Furman, DB, Oklahoma State

Josh Furman, DB, Oklahoma State 2014: Lavelle Westbrooks, DB, Georgia Southern

Lavelle Westbrooks, DB, Georgia Southern 2013: Marcus Cooper, DB, Rutgers

Marcus Cooper, DB, Rutgers 2012: Daryl Richardson, RB, Abilene Christian

Daryl Richardson, RB, Abilene Christian 2011: Bill Nagy, OL, Wisconsin

Bill Nagy, OL, Wisconsin 2010: Austin Spitler, LB, Ohio State

Austin Spitler, LB, Ohio State 2009: Freddie Brown, WR, Utah

The Patriots haven’t made a selection at No. 252 over the previous 10 drafts. Yet over that span, six of the prospects taken at that slot have played in NFL games beyond August. A combined 223, to be exact, with 51 starts. One standout who predates this list? Marques Colston. The Hofstra wideout touched down with the New Orleans Saints back in 2006.

Altogether, New England has been awarded 39 compensatory picks since the formula began a quarter century ago to offset the net losses of free agency. Time will tell what becomes of the most recent four this April.

If they remain the Patriots’ to make.
