The moves paid off early as the Patriots were better against the run but as the season wore on, they struggled again. Defensive tackle is still a position……

The Patriots have had a lot of success during Bill Belichick’s tenure with signing undrafted free agents. In fact, the team has had a 18 year run where an undrafted free agent has made the team. That streak ended last season. The Patriots recent undrafted free-agent success includes: Center David Andrews (2015), cornerback Jonathan Jones (2016), cornerback J.C.

The Patriots number six need is EDGE. The Patriots traded outside linebacker Chase Winovich earlier this off-season for inside linebacker Mack Wilson. The Patriots have depth at EDGE with Matthew Judon, Deatrich Wise, Josh Uche, Ronnie Perkins, Anfernee Jennings and Jahlani Tavai. Outside of Judon however, there are a lot of inexperienced players at the outside linebacker or defensive end spots. The Patriots could use another pass rusher. The 2022……

Patriots Draft: The Patriots trading down would make a lot of sense

April 18, 2022

Trade down. The two words Patriots fans despise this time of year. I get it. It is sexier and more fun if Bill Belichick trades up. He has done it 28 times, far more than any Patriots fan probably ever thought he has. He has also traded down 28 times. The Patriots currently have eight picks in this draft. Four of those picks are in the fifth and sixth rounds…….
