List of New England Patriots first-round draft picks edit
- ... that of the sixty-four first-round draft picks made by the New England Patriots, twenty of them have been selected to play in the Pro Bowl?

5x expanded by Sportsguy17 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:13, 6 August 2017 (UTC).
Prose portion expanded over 5x in time, QPQ done, neutral, no copyvios detected, sources check out. A few non-QPQ things to work out:
- "Beginning in 2010, teams making the playoffs will be seeded in reverse order depending upon how far they advance." If this has indeed been done since, you should change "will be" to "have been."
- "Jim Plunkett, a quarterback from Stanford, was the Patriots' first selection in the 1971 NFL Draft." What's the relevance? That he was the first NE (i.e., not Boston) Patriot selected in the 1st found? That he's a HOFer? Make it explicit.
- "The team has selected third overall once and fourth overall three times." It looks like they haven't ever picked 2nd, but since you're going through the order (1, 3, 4), you may as well say that.
- "and/or" is always somewhat awkward, maybe thing about rephrasing. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:35, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
