The Latest: NFL teams ready to draft, except Patriots
CHICAGO (AP) The Latest on the first day of the NFL draft (all times local):
12:35 p.m.
While most NFL cities are buzzing with teams, fans and media getting ready for the draft, things are relatively quiet in New England. At least for one more day.
The Patriots are the only team without a pick on the first day of the draft. They had the 29th pick taken away - along with $1 million - as part of the penalty in the ''Deflategate'' scandal. So there will only 31 picks in the first round.
The Patriots could trade back into the first round, but that's unlikely because commissioner Roger Goodell says he's going to confiscate their highest pick no matter what.
There was no availability at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, though the team was no doubt working behind the scenes to get ready for Days 2 and 3. The Patriots have 11 picks in the next two days, including four in the second and third rounds and five in the sixth round.
