Wolf Alone in Draft Room, Patriots' Future Hangs

As Executive Vice President of Player Personnel, he'll handle rounds 4 through 7 all by himself. That's huge responsibility with the team's future on the line. This comes right after coach Mike Vrable announced he's seeking counseling this weekend. It's tied to recent photos showing him and NFL reporter Diana Rossini hanging out on several occasions.
