According to a member of the New England Patriots' front office, there was a significant disagreement within the organization over a critical draft pick.

GREEN BAY, Wis. ― On April 16, eight days before the start of the NFL Draft, Louisiana State offensive linemen Will Campbell and Miles Frazier prepared for a private workout on campus with the Patriots. They had heard that coach Mike Vrabel, a 14-year NFL linebacker, still liked to get in the mix and grapple with players. They prepared accordingly.

In the 104 days since his introductory press conference in January, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has already accomplished what seemed like the impossible at season’s end. Arriving on the heels of back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and inheriting one of the worst rosters in the NFL, Vrabel has managed to flip the script in short order.
