The sports world was rocked on Friday morning folowing the announcement by police in Jupiter, Florida, that Patriots Owner Robert Kraft was going to be charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution.
The explosive news brought forth no shortage of suggestions for legal actions and punishments that the league could take against Kraft. However, former Jets linebacker Bart Scott had perhaps the hottest of all hot-take ideas for a potential punishment.
On WFAN’s Carlin, Maggie, and Bart show on Friday, Scott suggested that New England lose all of their draft picks.
"I would take their whole draft from them. it has to be something that cripples them. This is a black eye." – Bart Scott on the punishment Robert Kraft and The #Patriots should get from the league after today's news.

The Patriots owner can face a maximum of a seven-figure fine and the loss of a mid-round draft pick.
The investigation, of which Kraft is allegedly a part, is part of an ongoing police investigation stretching back over the course of several months.
Kraft has been the Patriots owner for the last 25 years. During that time, New England has been to ten Super Bowls and won six of them.
