read the article by pat kirwan I think he mentions if the offer sheet is right before draft or after the pats will get the number one in 2018 because they some rule in the nfl

Pretty sure that's just not accurate.

Well he's wrong and spreading inaccurate info if that's the case.
The whole point of the deadline being before the draft is so the team matching or declining knows EXACTLY what pick they are getting.
It also HAS to be that team's original pick. So we can't trade 11 for say a second and a next year's first and then force the Pat's to take 32. In that case we would become ineligible for signing Butler to an offer sheet.
There's no way to skirt this. If we sign him to an offer sheet it has to be 11 we give up if the Pats don't match.
Edit:
Also the deadline is April 21st for him to sign an offer sheet or sign the Pats tender (if he does neither the Pats can pull the tender and treat him as an exclusive rights free agent meaning they tender him for vet minimum and he can no longer get offers from other teams), so he cannot sign an offer sheet after the draft.
