NFL ready w upside. Physical, rangy & great recognition skills. I believe he has upside as a nickel & could be a box defender after a year or two if things really go in his favor. Just a great prospect. I can't grade until #'s come out but I can't imagine him not being a top 10-15 player for me.
Honestly reminds me of Earl Thomas lite who I thought was HOF/Elite material at Texas.
Will be a huge need. There aren't many great SAF in the league as is. Playmaker.
He won't last past 15 so we'll have to trade up but we have plenty of ammo.
I think he could be somehwhat interchangeable in certain situations/looks. A little bit of Chung's role. I think Obi would get a look there. It's not concern but he's a bit of an ankle bitter & not the biggest guy at 195-205.Are we thinking pure FS or could his game translate into that Star Position?
If Hock comes out for sure but it's a nice classThere's going to be some TE Depth this year.. Lots of talent this year
I see the Patriots needing a DT to replace Brown and a highly talented All-around LB.
@BaconGrundleCandy - Saw your list, noticed you hadn't gotten to the DL or LB yet. I'm curious on the following:
Size wise, Sagapolu from Wisconsin is intriguing as a NT. He's also got a decent pedigree. Do you think he'd be a good addition late in the 2nd round?
I noticed in June you mentioned Josh Allen from Kentucky, but you don't have him on your list as a "Patriots-Type" player. Curious why that is..
@reamer basically summed up Sagapolu for me. I wouldn't touch him before top 100-50.I see the Patriots needing a DT to replace Brown and a highly talented All-around LB.

Tre Watson
You know I like Watson. He reminds me of E. Roberts, but with the ability to play in space and a little better technique to get off blocks. Could do a lot worse in the mid rounds.
Big Pratt fan. Get Darius Leonard vibes from him.Germaine Pratt is someone of interest to me at the moment..

He can do a lil of everything which is why I got Leonard vibes but who knows.Seems to shed blocks really well too is also good in coverage as well. Not sure what grade I have on him yet.
Serious question bc I'm huge of strong position groups. Probably less than a 5% chance but what if we targeted both. Obviously w high picks. Let's say 1-2.
Depending on how the board goes they might be bpa & both fill needs. Both are versatile enough to play different roles & look NFL ready. Fant's speed, stride length & route running will be a problem for almost any defender. Hock looks like a Kittle clone you can use & move all over. Plays like the below will are a great example of how you can use him off p/a. Misdirection.
Trust me I want defensive talent & we need it but who knows how the board falls.
I think we'd be lucky if we walked away w these two.
Jordan Love is someone I've had a crush this year & I think it'll only grow. 25/4 ratio I believe. 65% cmp. Footwork, mostly his steps, could be cleaned up a bit but he's pretty clean.
Has that arm talent, man, does he display the 3 biggies. Touch, Accuracy & Placement. Can easily touch all 3 levels. Very smooth.
He's only a SO so he's eligible next year which is a good thing considering we have to really build up the team save QB. Brady will be here at least next year so we can focus on everything thing this year imo.
I love him but understand why other might hesitate. Testing will be huge for him. He post good #'s & it would make it a lot easier to pick him for some I imagine.Zach Allen - can’t work out a grade for him at all. I got him from 1st round to a 3rd round grade on him.
Not sure what you think.. @BaconGrundleCandy

He fits out mold at that spot though. I know it would never happen but signing Flowers, Frank Clark from FA & drafting Allen might take care of our needs at DE for a minute. Again i cant see Clark here bc of his past but that might help solve our problem & allow us to remain flexibility in RD1.
Back to Allen. 2 gap power on the edge, both spots actually. Vg 1st step. Not a bender but he's a classic worker w length & motor. That translates. Probably will never be. 8+ sack guy but great against the run. Versatile. Reliable & smart. Allen also needs help growing into body which could be real upside if he gets molded right. Needs to tighten up some but strong as a lumberjack. Could probably sell paper towels w a flannel shirt on.
