Just a quick disclaimer, although I thoroughly enjoy watching tape and forming opinions on players, I am far from an expert. So take it for what it's worth. I've ranked the players in order of who I would most like the Patriots to get, even though a number of them will be unattainable for us. Also, I'm on my phone, so please forgive any typos.

QB:
1) Trevor Lawrence
2) Trey Lance
3) Mac Jones
4) Zack Wilson
5) Justin Fields

This ranking changes on a daily basis, really 2-5 are interchangeable. After this 5 I only see two QB's worth a pick in before round 6, Kellen Mond and Davis Mills.

RB:
1) Najee Harris
2) Travis Etienne
3) Kenneth Gainwell
4) Javonte Williams
5) Michael Carter

Honourable mentions - Trey Sermon, Jarret Patterson

WR:
1) Jamarr Chase
2) Devonta Smith
3) Jaylen Waddle
4) Terrace Marshall
5) Elijah Moore

The honourable mentions here could literally reach about 15 players, I love a lot of this WR class. But Kadarius Toney was unlucky to miss out and my favourite late round sleeper in the entire draft is Simi Fehoko

TE:
1) Kyle Pitts
2) Pat Freiermuth
3) Brevin Jordan
4) Hunter Long
5) Tommy Tremble

Some really nice late round options here, like Tony Poljan, (oops, I hit post before I was ready, editing now) Kenny Yeboah, Noah Gray and Luke Farrell

OT:
1) Penei Sewell
2) Teven Jenkins
3) Rashawn Slater
4) Alex Leatherwood
5) Liam Eichenberg

I suck at evaluating OL, so I won't bother with honourable mentions. I will say that I don't like Christian Darrisaw and don't see why he's a consensus top 5 tackle. But, like I said, I suck at OL evaluation.

IOL:
1) Alijah Vera Tucker
2) Aaron Banks
3) Quinn Meinerz
4) Jimmy Morrissey
5) Dave Moore

The last two might be controversial, but I love the way they play and I think some of the bigger names simply won't be as good. Landon ****erson would have easily made my list if he wasn't so injury prone. Also, as above, I suck at OL.

IDL:
1) Christian Barmore
2) Tyler Shelvin
3) Alim McNeil
4) Levi Onwuruzike
5) Jaylen Twymen

Slim pickings here. Jay Tufele unlucky to miss out, and Tommy Togiai

DE:
1) Kwity Page
2) Aziz Oujalari
3) Chris Rumph
4) Jayson Oweh
5) Joe Tryon

Jaelen Phillips would be my number 2, were it not for the concussions. I think he's off my board. I'm not particularly high on Rosseau.

LB:
1) Micah Parsons
2) Zaven Collins
3) Jeremiah Owusu Koromoah
4) Nick Bolton
5) Jabril Cox

I think Chazz Surrat might develop into a nice player and I like Baron Browning, Pete Werner and Paddy Fisher too.

CB:
1) Patrick Surtain
2) Jaycee Horn
3) Greg Newsome
4) Caleb Farley
5) Kelvin Joseph

Caleb Farley would be at 2 were it not for his injury concerns. Aaron Robinson and Melifonwu were unlucky to miss out, and I like the two Georgia guys too, Campbell and Stokes, and Benjamin St Juste. Good depth throughout the draft here, without too many elite players

S:
1) Trevon Moehrig
2) Richie Grant
3) Ardarius Washington
4) Jamar Johnson
5) Jevon Holland

I think the top end of this class is pretty weak, I don't think there is a huge gulf between the top safeties and the bottom of the middle of the class.

I haven't looked at special teams at all. So there you have it. Feel free to rip me.

I'd rank them the same as you. Bateman and Rondale Moore close to miss the top 5 for me.
OT:
1) Penei Sewell
2) Teven Jenkins
3) Rashawn Slater
4) Alex Leatherwood
5) Liam Eichenberg
1. Sewell
2. Darrisaw
3. Jenkins
4. Radunz
5. Leatherwood

IOL:
1) Alijah Vera Tucker
2) Aaron Banks
3) Quinn Meinerz
4) Jimmy Morrissey
5) Dave Moore
1. Slater (don't know if Teams view him as an OT or IOL, if IOL than he is my number 1)
2. AVT (don't know if Teams view him as an OT maybe)
3. Humphrey
4. Davis
5. Meinerz

1. Barmore
2. Togiai
3. McNeil
4. Onzuwurike
5. Shelvin

Brown close to make the list..
DE:
1) Kwity Page
2) Aziz Oujalari
3) Chris Rumph
4) Jayson Oweh
5) Joe Tryon
1. Paye
2. Phillips
3. Oweh
4. Basham
5. Turner

3) Jeremiah Owusu Koromoah
4) Nick Bolton
5) Jabril Cox
1. Parsons
2. Collins
3. Cox
4. Browning
5. Werner

I don't think JOK is the best fit here and we would have to take him rd.1 probably.

CB:
1) Patrick Surtain
2) Jaycee Horn
3) Greg Newsome
4) Caleb Farley
5) Kelvin Joseph
1. Surtain
2. Horn
3. Farley ( he would have been one if he tested and not get another injury)
4. Newsome
5. Melifonwu
