It’s draft day.

Welcome to the 2020 NFL Draft.

For the second-straight year, the Patriots hold a dozen picks in this draft, which starts tonight at 8 p.m. with the first round. The Pats pick at No. 23. Tomorrow, we’ll see rounds two and three where the Patriots currently have three third-round selections.

This year, the draft is very different since the live draft was canceled due to the coronavirus. Teams are also working remotely, which means the Pats won’t be huddled in their war room inside Gillette Stadium. Most Pro Days and in-stadium pre-draft prospect visits were also canceled. However, teams made up for that by having video calls with prospective prospects.

Throughout this offseason, the Providence Journal has compiled a list, from various reports and independent reporting, of prospects connected with the Patriots. Last year, the Providence Journal’s Patriots draft contact list included eventual draftees N’Keal Harry, JoeJuan Williams Jarrett Stidham, Damien Harris, Yodny Cajuste, Jake Bailey and Byron Cowart. The prospects are ordered by what round they are projected to go in, according to nfldraftscout.com.
