Not in the draft. Nor:

Will Campbell - Chiefs at 9
Kelvin Banks - Bengals
Will Johnson - Miami
etc,etc,etc.

ChatGPT had a brain fart. Which isn't promising for AI. Terminator 'aint so scary.

Rob Rang 2-round mock:

Max Iheanachor and Keyron Crawford works for me.

31. New England Patriots: Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State

The Patriots might very well continue the run on edge rushers, but protecting Drake Maye should be their top priority. Iheanachor has first-round traits, but the native Nigerian only began playing football five years ago, so he might sit behind veteran Morgan Moses (35) at right tackle for a bit before taking over. Mike Vrabel personally worked out Iheanachor during his Pro Day.

63. New England Patriots: Keyron Crawford, Edge, Auburn

Similar to the strategy Eliot Wolf and the Patriots took in the first-round of this projection with toolsy offensive tackle Max Iheanachor, Crawford is an investment in the future. With a little patience and polish, Crawford could develop into a legitimate 10-plus sack rusher.

Mina Kimes gives the Patriots TJ Parker over Blake Miller.

 
Phil Perry's final mock. Meh.

TRADE: NE trades 1.31 to AZ for 2.34 and 2027 3
2.34 TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
TRADE: NE trades 2.63, 4.131, and AZ 2027 3 to SD for 2.55
2.55 EDGE Gabe Jacas, Illinois
3.95 OT Travis Burke, Memphis
4.125 LB Bryce Boettcher, Oregon
5.171 G/T Logan Taylor, Boston College
6.191 WR Kendrick Law, Kentucky
6.198 S Jakobe Thomas, Miami
6.202 EDGE George Gumbs Jr., Florida
6.212 QB Jalon Daniels, Kansas
7.247 P Ryan Eckley, Michigan State

So to sum up the trades: 1.31, 2.63, and 4.131 for 2.34 and 2.55.

That would be a dream draft for me. Some of those day 3 picks wont be there(Burke). But the first 3 picks would be fantastic, and still getting OL depth on day 3 would be great.
