Talk is still swirling that the Pats may swing a deal involving either Malcolm Butler or Jimmy Garoppolo. I don

I like it, just skeptical those players will last that long.

I agree 100%. I'd be SHOCKED If Melifonwu slipped to 72, shocked. The 1st three players in this mock, I'd be shocked if they were available in the slots the Pat's currently hold.

Neither Melifonwu or Basham are likely to be where they're picked here, but this is a mock I'd love. I'd be very happy with Keionta Davis in the 6th or 7th too.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

This would be about as good of a draft as I could possibly hope for, but I just don't see Melifonwu or Basham available at 72. Melifonwu probably won't make it out of the 20s, and depending on how teams grade the edge players, Basham might be a top 50 guy. Still, I love the first three picks, and I'm pleased with Keionta Davis, as well. Good stuff.

Just don't see how Basham falls that far. I don't even think he makes it to our first pick. If i were to bet, he doesn't even last to the third round.

Really can't see Melifonwu falling that far either. He's just too good, and brings a lot of versatility.

It's be awesome to land both, but don't see it as realistic.

Good and a bit more realistic effort by Mark Daniels:
Mark Daniels takes one last look at upcoming Patriots draft


72: Tarell Basham, defensive end, Ohio
96: Jalen “Teez” Tabor, cornerback Florida
131: Jake Butt, tight end, Michigan
183: Sam Tevi, tackle, Utah
200: Samson Ebukam, outside linebacker, Eastern Washington
239: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, linebacker, Tennessee

Id quite like this one presuming Tevi is the one Dante wants.

Safety is missing but there will be good quality among UDFAs so its ok..

It would be hard to beat that draft. There isn't a single player that I'd be disappointed by.

any draft starting with Basham @72 is a happy draft to me . under current mock assumptions

Me too. Starting to think 72 for him is a pipe dream though.
