The Patriots drafted Houston cornerback Marcus Jones with the 85th pick of the third round of the NFL Draft. Jones is undersized at 5-8 174 and profiles more as a slot corner. Despite that, he can still play on the outside because of his closing speed and ball skills. The Patriots spent a lot of time with Jones in the pre-draft process so it is not a surprise that they……
The Patriots made a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round last night to move up four spots and draft Baylor wide receiver Tyquan Thornton. By all accounts Thornton was a reach in the second round but as Bill Belichick proved on Thursday night, your board and his board are vastly different. Thornton gives the Patriots something they haven’t had around here in a while. A tall,……
The Patriots have three picks in Day Two of the NFL Draft. They current have pick 54 in the second round and picks 85 and 94 in the third round. New England has plenty of needs and there is plenty of talent left on the board to address it. Here are ten players to keep an eye on in Day Two of the draft. Travis Jones, DT, 6-4 325, UConn:……
The Patriots drafted guard Cole Strange with the 29th pick in the first round. Most had a late second, early third round grade on Strange. Not the Patriots apparently. He was the top player on their board at that spot. So what are the Patriots getting in Strange? Here’s out scouting report. https://youtu.be/6Kd-DvOW9hY Cole Strange, 6-4 307, Tennessee-Chattanooga Initial Quickness: Gets off the ball and gets inside on defenders. Beats……
Our Tyler Amaral reveals his final mock draft prior to tonight’s first round. Some intriguing picks here. First Round 1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travon Walker, DL Georgia – Trent Baalke wants Travon Walker. Shad Khan wants Aidan Hutchinson. Who wins? 2. Detroit Lions: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE Michigan – The safest player in the draft slips to number 2. Dream scenario for Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes. 3. Houston Texans: Evan Neal,…
Here is my final mock draft before the draft tonight. For the record, I do not do any trades. I just pick where the Patriots are picking. So, without further ado, here is who I think the Patriots will draft this weekend. 1st RD: (21st): Zion Johnson, OG Boston College: The Patriots could go linebacker or corner with their first pick. If they don’t go in that direction, they could……
The Patriots have a hole at right guard thanks to the departure of Ted Karras and the trade of Shaq Mason. They could address it by drafting a guard or they could go offensive tackle depending on how the board shakes out. Needless to say, the Patriots will have some options. Here are 15 offensive lineman who I think are good fits for the Patriots. Zion Johnson, OG, 6-2 312,……
Our own Tyler Amaral gives his final mock draft before this weekend’s NFL Draft. First Round 21. Kenyon Green, OL Texas A&M – Green played everywhere but center for the Aggies. He would immediately slot in at left guard while also providing depth at tackle in the event of Isaiah Wynn or Trent Brown missing time. Second Round 54. Christian Harris, LB Alabama – Harris isn’t the typical Alabama run……
Jon Lyons, Tyler Amaral and myself have several players in each day that we like and would pound the table for. Here are the players we would each pound the table for on day one, day two and day three. Jon Lyons Day 1: Derek Stingley, CB, LSU: Putting Stingley on this list may seem far fetched due to his status as a projected top ten pick, but there have……
The Patriots have addressed Linebacker this off-season adding Mack Wilson in a trade for Chase Winovich and re-signing J’Whaun Bentley. Veteran Raekwon McMillan and second year linebacker Cameron McGone are also in the mix as well. Third year linebackers Anfernee Jennings and Josh Uche can play off the ball as well. Despite that, the Patriots need to address the position. A linebacker who can play all three downs and have……
