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……
The Patriots need address offensive tackle with the defection of Trent Brown to the Oakland Raiders in free agency. 2018 first draft pick Isaiah Wynn will get first crack at left tackle but the Patriots must improve their depth along the offensive line. 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……
Wide receiver is one of the top needs for the Patriots entering the draft on Thursday. The Patriots currently have Julian Edelman, Demaryius Thomas, Phillip Dorsett, Maurice Harris, Bruce Ellington and Braxton Berrios among others on the roster. There are plenty of bodies available to compete but the talent level is thin outside of Edelman. Bill Belichick needs to address the position in the draft but when he does will……
The Patriots 2019 schedule was released on Wednesday night. Here are a few thoughts the Patriots schedule this upcoming season. 1. Opening against the Steelers makes sense in that the two teams have a rivalry but I would have preferred Cleveland or Kansas City came to town for opening night and the raising of banner number six. 2. An early season trip to Miami (Week 2) is never a good…
Add Demaryius Thomas to the list of former big name receivers who attempted to resurrect their careers in New England. From Randy Moss to Chad Ocho Cinco to Joey Galloway to Nate Washington, the Patriots have a history of acquiring wide receivers on the back end of their careers. Thomas signed a one year deal on Tuesday that could be worth up to $6 million dollars. He will be reunited…
The Patriots signed veteran tight end Austin Sefarian Jenkins to a one year deal today. Jenkins spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He only played in five game for the Jaguars last season catching 11 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. When healthy,…
