Potential Patriots: Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri
A two-year starter at Missouri, Young lined up as the 5 technique edge. Young finished second in the SEC in tackles for loss (16.5) and third in pressures (53). The coaching staff at Missouri loved Young and a scout told me that they loved him and were high on him. Young profiles as a three down edge who can play all over a front depending on the package. Reminds me of DreMont Jones.
Potential Patriots: Malachi Lawrence, EDGE, Central Florida
Malachi Lawrence is a high-motor edge defender who has steadily transitioned from a situational pass rusher to a complete defensive end. Known for his explosive first step and relentless pursuit, he possesses the frame and functional strength to compete at the point of attack while maintaining the athletic profile necessary to stress the pocket from multiple alignments.
Potential Patriots: T.J Parker, EDGE, Clemson
A starter for two-and-a-half years at Clemson. Parker was an outside edge rusher for the Tigers. He burst onto the scene as a Freshman All-American and had a terrific sophomore season in 2024. He wasn’t as good in 2025 but he had his moments.
