For the second straight night, the Patriots may have gotten an elite, game-changing player in the 2023 NFL Draft. While many wanted (and assumed) the focus would be on offense, Bill Belichick has continued stacking the defense with guys who can probably come in and make an immediate impact. After taking cornerback Christian Gonzalez Thursday night, New England took Keion White, a defensive end fro Georgia Tech with their second……

The Patriots still have 11 picks in this weekend’s draft. They had 11 coming into the weekend but after trading down three spots with the Pittsburgh Steelers last night, the Patriots picked up an additional fourth round pick. That pick could be used tonight to help them move up. The Patriots have moved up in the second round five straight years and there is a good chance they trade up……

The Patriots currently have two picks on Friday night, Pick 46 in the second round and Pick 76 in the third round. They do have four fourth round picks so they have some “currency” if you will if they decide to move up tonight. Patriots Director of Player Personnel Matt Groh indicated last night in his meeting with the media that the team might be willing to part with some……

Patriots take Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez with 1st round pick

This was the ultimate Bill Belichick draft on Thursday night. It was only one night and one round, but this was about as old school as it gets when it comes to draft board manipulation. Sitting at No. 14, the Patriots moved back to No. 17 after a trade with the Steelers. Pittsburgh took Georgia’s Broderick Jones, most likely blocking the Jets from taking him. Once the 17th pick arrived,……

Patriots Draft: Scouting Report on CB Christian Gonzalez

April 27, 2023

Cornerback was a clear need for the Patriots. We thought they might take one given the amount of talent at the position. I don’t think anyone expected the Patriots to trade down from Pick 14 to Pick 17 and still land a top ten player. Well, they did. That is because Christian Gonzalez, a projected top ten player fell to them. Gonzalez slipped for whatever reason and the Patriots were……

Believe it or not, the NFL Draft begins on Thursday. This third, and final, mock draft represents a near best case scenario for the Patriots. If their board ends up looking like this at the conclusion of the draft on Saturday, they’ll be in great shape heading into the 2023 season.   Christian Gonzalez, CB- Oregon Gonzalez is the best corner in the draft and having him fall to 14th……

Patriots Draft: Need #3-Wide Receiver

April 23, 2023
0 comment

The Patriots signed free agent Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster to a three year deal this off-season to replace Jakobi Meyers who departed in free agency. On paper, the Patriots have enough depth at the position with Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, TyQuan Thornton, Lynn Bowden and Tre Nixon. But after examining that list, it leaves something to be desired. Specifically, there’s no legitimate playmaker in the group that can stretch the field…….

Patriots Draft: Need #4-Tight End

April 22, 2023

On paper, the Patriots have two pretty good tight ends in Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki who was signed this off-season to a one year deal. Both Henry and Gesicki are signed for the 2023 season but both will be free agents after next season. The Patriots need to think about the long term future of the position. They do not want to end up in the same position they……

Patriots once again doing their due diligence in bringing in Will Levis

The Patriots brought in Kentucky quarterback Will Levis for a visit this week. The news came as a surprise but let’s not forget the Patriots also met with Anthony Richardson at the NFL Combine. It doesn’t mean they are going to draft either quarterback. Of course some might think that this is yet another sign that the organization is ready to move on from Mac Jones but I do not……

Patriots Draft: Need #5-Linebacker/EDGE

April 21, 2023
0 comment

The Patriots like to play multiple fronts on defense but one thing is for sure, they like their linebackers especially off-ball linebackers who can play multiple roles within their defense. The 2023 draft class has several intriguing off the ball and edge defenders who fit the Patriots scheme to a tee. Here are 15 linebackers and edge players who could be on the Patriots radar and are possible fits. Nolan……
