The Patriots have five picks today. They have the following picks:

Round 4 – No. 103

Round 4 – No. 110 

Round 6 – No. 180 

Round 6 – No. 193 

Round 7 – No. 231

The Patriots have two of the first ten picks of the day. Both are premium picks that they could use to address other needs like running back, defensive back and interior defensive line. 

So who could they target today? Here are some players to watch for day three.

Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina: Walker ran a legit 4.36 forty, a long strider and he can separate and finish in space. He dropped due to consistency issues and not making enough plays in traffic but he has a rapport with Drake Maye and would be a nice complimentary pick to what the Patriots got in Polk. Walker’s stick took a hit at Senior Bowl where he struggled in one on ones. He is a good value at this point in the draft. 

Javon Baker, WR, UCF: Versatile receiver who could be used in the running game and the passing game. One of the best route runners in this class. Baker’s ability to separate at the top of routes and finish in the red zone is one of his best traits and it makes him a solid day three value. 

Brenden Rice, WR, USC: Big X receiver who is a long strider, runs good routes and has a wide catch radius. Rice, like his legendary father Jerry has great hands. He attacks the ball and secures it cleanly. Rice plays faster than he times. He does his best work in the red zone. A reliable target who could also be a good compliment to Polk. 

Bub Means, WR, Pitt: Another big target that profiles like an X receiver. Means is a long strider who has some separation skills in the open field. He routinely makes big plays after the catch. Played for Patriots assistant coach Tiquan Undetwood at Pitt. He has good size at 6-1 212. 

Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M: Experienced slot receiver who can make big plays. Similar to Pop Douglas but has more explosiveness to his game, especially down the field. Smith also has experience as a return. Played five seasons at A&M so he has played a lot of football. 

Ja’Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas: Sanders is an undersized move tight end who could create match ups in the middle of the field. Sanders has a second gear and can finish in the open field. 

Jared Wiley, TE, TCU: A big, athletic target who profiles more as a Y who plays in line than a U or move tight end. Wiley has a wide catch radius and can go up and get it. Needs work as a blocker but Wiley’s skill is elite. 

Theo Johnson, TE, Penn State: Arguably the best blocking tight end in this class. Johnson is also a factor in the short and intermediate passing game. He would be a terrific value in the fourth round.

Christian Mahogany, OG, Boston College: Mahogany is your classic phone booth guard who is a musket in the run game and a good short area pass blocker. Mahogany bounced back from a torn ACL in 2022 to have a terrific final season at the Heights. Mahogany has the nasty disposition you look for at the position.

Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas:  Long and explosive pass rusher who gets a good jump in his rush and has strong hands. He does a great job of setting up secondary pass rush moves with his primary pass rush move. He has only played 505 snaps in his career so he has a lot of football ahead of him. Ideally suited to be five technique defensive end in the 4-3. Booker also has situational pass rusher potential.

Mohamed Kamara, EDGE, Colorado St. Small, lean EDGE who has an explosive first step and can get into offensive tackle with his lean and balance. Has good hands and counter rushes. Kamara can play down the line of scrimmage and make plays from the backside. He was highly productive in college racking up 30.5 sacks.

Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame: Big, physical corner who is best suited to play in a Cover 2, funnel flat scheme. Has long arms, heavy hands and he does a good job of re-routing receivers. Hart is instinctive. He does a good job of reading route concepts in space. He can be a little too physical down field and prone to drawing penalties but he is a good all around football player. 

Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri: Abrams-Draine can play outside and in the slot. He is a smooth, twitchy cornerback who transitions easily and can his hips lock on to a receivers hip. He is also willing to support the run from a slot alignment. At 5-11 180, he has good size and is fundamentally sound with his hand work and re-routing receivers. 

Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech: Undersized safety who can play at all three levels and play all three downs. Demerson profiles more as a single high free safety but he has the ball skills to play nickel in the slot and he can support the run off the edge. 

Ray Davis, RB, Kentucky: Super productive back running back who is 5-8 but packs a punch at 220 pounds. Davis is a one cut runner who can accelerate in the second level. Davis is also a factor in the pass game. He ran a full running back route tree and has good hands. 

Dylan Laube, RB, UNH: One of the most complete players in this draft. Laube can do it all. He is a one cut runner who excelled in the Wildcats zone running game. Arguably the best receiving running back in this draft. He can play in the slot and be utilized in the jet sweep running and vertically in the passing game.
