@KDPPatsfan85Do you think the Patriots go oline like Kenyon green or Zion Johnson or should they go db like daxton hill? Is this a draft that we should trade down?As I wrote in last week’s mailbag, I think the Patriots are more likely to draft a tackle in the first round than a guard like Green or Johnson, just based on positional value and the fact they’ve consistently found quality interior linemen in the middle rounds.
Tackle isn’t as immediate a need as cornerback or linebacker, but with Isaiah Wynn and Trent Brown both injury-prone and Wynn entering a contract year, it would behoove the Patriots to begin planning for the future there.
Someone like Chris Olave or Jameson Williams could be in play, too, if either tumbles for whatever reason, but I have a hard time envisioning Belichick trading up for a wide receiver.
@FrogmansWorldSo why’s it so hard for people around here to imagine Mac taken a year 2 jump? So he made playoffs and now will get more help but somehow will forget how to play ball cause Judge is here?I certainly think we could see a Year 2 leap from Mac Jones.
Judge and Patricia have plenty of coaching experience, but trusting this pivotal stage of your franchise QB’s development to a collection of coaches without those key lines on their résumés is risky, to say the least.
New England also loves stockpiling late-round linebackers — it’s drafted four in the fifth, eight in the sixth and six in the seventh under Belichick — so we could see it go one early, one late at that spot, as well.
@TimsSunscreen1Any chance we can trade N’Keal Harry for a 2024 7th rounder?I think the Patriots should take whatever they can get for Harry at this point, which probably isn’t much.
@pats300levelpodWhat’s the likelihood Navy LB Diego Fagot gets drafted and if he does would the Patriots be a potential suitor?Fagot is projected as an undrafted free agent, and I could definitely see him being on the Patriots’ radar post-draft.
Basically, any time a Navy prospect is draft-eligible, there’s a good chance the Patriots have at least some interest.
