Unless and until he acquires a QB of the Future before the draft, then Bill MUST draft either Mac Jones in the 1st round or Kyle Trask in the 2nd...Matt Miller's mock draft based on what he has heard from his sources:
#15: New England Patriots — LB JEREMIAH OWUSU-KORAMOAH, NOTRE DAME
Analysis: The biggest question surrounding the New England Patriots this off-season will be what the team does at quarterback. And as of February 11 there aren’t many good answers, but in talks with scouts and league decision-makers, the overwhelming belief is that the Patriots will acquire another veteran as opposed to drafting a first-rounder at the position.
Marcus Mariota, currently a Las Vegas Raider, makes sense. So does Jimmy Garoppolo if the 49ers were to trade or release him.
So as of now, the pick here is not a quarterback. That might change as more intel becomes available, but the smart money is on Bill Belichick trying to build up his roster before swinging for a quarterback early on. And think about this—Belichick is 68 years old. He doesn’t want to rebuild with a rookie quarterback. He wants to win.
A pick that helps the Patriots right now is defensive weapon Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah from Notre Dame. A 6’1”, 220-pound missile, JOK has lined up as a STAR, a linebacker and a safety. He can be deployed in a myriad of alignments and assignments.
And when you’re dealing with Josh Allen twice a year, defenders with versatility and big play potential are a need.
#46. New England Patriots — DL Christian Barmore, Alabama
#111. New England Patriots — WR Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma State
#142. New England Patriots — S Richard LeCounte, Georgia
#173. New England Patriots — EDGE Elerson Smith, Northern Iowa
#207. New England Patriots — WR Whop Philyor, Indiana
Other than those two scenarios, anything else should be considered Dereliction of Duty and grounds for dismissal.
Barmore's not lasting til #46.
Wallace isn't lasting til #111.
I want NOTHING ****ING WHATSOEVER to do with drafting ANY ****ING SAFETIES in ANY ****ING ROUND.
And where the **** are the rest of our draft picks?
