West Virginia offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste was taken with pick 101. It was a compensatory pick at the end of third round. At 6-5 312, Cajuste has a lot of upside physically but he is also one of the most frustrating players in this draft in that he runs hot and cold and can be inconsistent. Here is our scouting report on Yodny Cajuste. Yodny Cajuste, West Virginia, 6-5 312……
The Patriots surprisingly drafted Harris with pick 87 in the third round. On paper, the Patriots are deep at the running back position with Sony Michel, James White, Rex Burkhead and Brandon Bolden. The Patriots won’t carry six running backs plus a fullback so you would have to think that one of the back currently on the roster would be the odd man out with Harris in the mix. Here……
The Patriots drafted Michigan defensive end Chase Winovich with pick 77 of the third round. At 6-3 256, Winovich is quick off the snap and plays with a motor. It is overstated at times but Winovich is your prototypical Patriot. He can play multiple roles and is a team first player. Here is our scouting report on Winovich. Chase Winovich, Michigan, 6-3 256 Player Comp: Brooks Reed Vs. Run: Winovich……
The Patriots drafted Vanderbilt cornerback Joejuan Williams with Pick 45 in the second round of the NFL Draft. Williams is a big corner at 6-3 5/8 211. He is your classic squat cover two corner who can press, redirect and trail in coverage. Here is my scouting report on Williams. Joejuan Williams, Vanderbilt, 6-3 5/8 211 Player Comp: Byron Maxwell Man Coverage: Williams has the speed and athleticism to play……
The Patriots drafted Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry with the 32nd pick in the first round. Here is the book on Harry and what Patriots fans can expect. N’Keal Harry, WR, Ole Miss, 6-2 5/8 228 Player Comp: Dez Bryant Release: Harry needs to do a better job of using his entire body to create separation at the snap. He doesn’t do it with his hands well enough. He……
The Patriots have 12 picks in this draft. It is almost a certainty that the Patriots will not draft 12 players. Bill Belichick will use his picks to maneuver around the board and take the best players available. If the Patriots used all 12 picks, here is who I think they would take. Round 1, Pick 32: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU: Williams will fall right into the Patriots lap at 32…….
The Patriots need to replace Trey Flowers who signed with the Detroit Lions in free agency. Deatrich Wise. Derek Rivers and Michael Bennett are on the roster but the Patriots could use another pass rusher. Here are ten prospects the Patriots could target. 1. Jaylon Ferguson, La Tech, 6-5 262: Ferguson was a sack machine at La Tech. He is explosive and wins with speed. Ferguson has a motor and……
The Patriots allowed Malcolm Brown and Danny Shelton to move on free agency. They will use the draft to replace Brown and Shelton and add depth. 1. Khalen Saunders, 6-0 324, Western Illinois: Saunders is an explosive shade nose, one technique tackle who can jump the snap and get penetration. He plays with great leverage and balance and moves well laterally. Saunders would be a good fit in the Patriots……

Offensive tackle will be a position they target. Here are ten offensive tackles who profile as Patriot type players. 1.Dalton Risner, Kansas State, 6-5 312: Risner can play……
As we have mentioned before, the Patriots never draft for need. They draft the best player available. Well, for the first time in a long time, they have a legitimate need at tight end. Losing Rob Gronkowski is a major league blow. Gronkowski was a shell of the player he has been throughout his career last season but at 6-6 265, he still possessed elite size and athleticism. The Patriots……
