If the Patriots ultimately do add former Browns general manager Michael Lombardi to their front office, my educated guess is that it would be in more of an advisor/consultant-type role, similar to what Floyd Reese previously held in the organization. The Patriots have an extremely small draft room compared to most NFL teams and my initial thought is that Lombardi’s potential position wouldn’t be one that produces an extra seat in that room. Still, it’s clear that his opinion and scouting acumen, particularly on the pro side, has earned great respect from coach Bill Belichick.
