Trade up, trade down? This draft might be the trade up draft

April 27, 2023

Normally the Patriots are looking to trade down and the fans expect them to trade down but tonight might be a little different. Tonight, the Patriots may actually trade up. That’s right, they may break with tradition and make a move up to draft a player that is high on their board. I would not expect a significant jump up, maybe four spots but the Patriots have enough draft capital……

10 players that would be surprising first round picks for the Patriots

April 26, 2023

Bijon Robinson has been linked to the Patriots in various mock drafts.  1. Will Levis, QB, Kentucky: Levis visited with the team last week which turned some heads but realistically speaking, he won’t last until the 14th pick and will be long gone by the time the Patriots pick in the first round. Don’t worry Patriots fans. Levis won’t be there for Belichick to draft him. 2. Bijan Robinson, RB,……

Patriots Draft: Need #1-Cornerback

April 26, 2023

We have reached the last need for the Patriots ahead of tonight’s NFL Draft and it is cornerback. The Patriots have done a great job of developing the position in the Belichick era particularly in the middle rounds and with priority free agents. They have had some whiffs as well (Ras-I Dowling, Terrance Wheatley, Jonathan Wilhite come to mind) but overall, Bill Belichick and his defensive staff develop cornerbacks better……

Patriots Draft: Need #2-Offensive Tackle

April 25, 2023

Offensive tackle was a source of consternation for the Patriots last season. Between injuries and inconsistency at right tackle and Trent Brown’s issues at left tackle, the team struggled to protect quarterback Mac Jones and it impacted a struggling offense. Offensive tackle will be a priority in this draft despite the additions of veterans Riley Reiff and Calvin Anderson. Both can step in and play but the Patriots need a……

Patriots Draft: Need #3-Wide Receiver

April 23, 2023

The Patriots signed free agent Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster to a three year deal this off-season to replace Jakobi Meyers who departed in free agency. On paper, the Patriots have enough depth at the position with Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, TyQuan Thornton, Lynn Bowden and Tre Nixon. But after examining that list, it leaves something to be desired. Specifically, there’s no legitimate playmaker in the group that can stretch the field…….
