The Patriots announced earlier this afternoon that they have signed three of their draft picks and nine undrafted free agents. 

The Patriots signed sixth-round draft picks CB Marcellas Dial, QB Joe Milton III and seventh-round draft pick TE Jaheim Bell. 

In addition to signing Dial, Milton and Bell, the Patriots also signed the following rookie free agents:  RB DeShaun Fenwick, CB Kaleb Ford-Demont, T Zuri Henry, LB Jontrey Hunter, DE John Morgan, S Dell Pettus, C Charles Turner, CB Mikey Victor and TE Jacob Warren.

All are participating in this weekend’s rookie mini camp including several mini camp invites. It is their first taste of life in the NFL.

For the first time in years, the local media will have access to rookie mini camp tomorrow. Jerod Mayo will meet with the media at 10:45 am. After a one hour practice, select rookies will meet with the media.

It will be our first look at third overall pick Drake Maye. Expectations are high for Maye and the rest of this rookie class.

As always, stay tuned for updates and some of the best Patriots coverage in New England.
