Patriots Draft: Patriots trade a 5th round pick to the Texans for 6th and 7th round picks

April 25, 2022

The Patriots made what could be the first of several trades this week when they traded a 5th round pick (Pick 170) for a sixth round pick and a seventh round pick (245). The Patriots had two fifth round picks but no seventh. The Texans had three sixth round picks but no fifth round pick. So Bill Belichick and old friend Nick Caserio solved that problem by making a trade…….

Patriots Draft: Need #4: Wide Receiver

April 25, 2022

If nothing else, he can bring some additional depth at the position. Here are 15 wide receivers that I think would be a good fit for the Patriots. Chris Olave,……

Patriots Draft: Need #5: Defensive Tackle

April 23, 2022

The Patriots inability to consistently stop the run has been an issue in recent years. Bill Belichick attempted to address the issue in free agency last off-season by signing free agents Davon Godchaux, Henry Anderson, re-signing Lawrence Guy and drafting Christian Barmore. 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……

Patriots Draft: 15 prospects who could go undrafted and sign with the Patriots

April 22, 2022

Patriots Draft: Need #6 Edge: Scouting the EDGE Players

April 21, 2022

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…….
