There are so many good ones. Jack Kelly and Justin Jefferson are really good, and they didn't Crack the Top dozen.

Jimmy Rolder top of this list - late round value linebackers.

If Rolder lasts to the late round, he would be a high value pick.

The Pats have not had success drafting Michigan LBs.. The last 4 have been underwhelming..

Just watching Daniel Jeremiah takling day 2 prospects they like. No real surprises until they get to linebacker. DJ says Justin Jefferson is a 3rd round, maybe 4th round prospect which is way higher than his current rankings.

You have me sold on Jefferson. Good alternative to Kyle Louis and Kaleb Elarms-Orr as a range off-ball LB or LB/S hybrid.

Jeremiah likes LB/S hybrids. He had a top-75 grade on Marte Mapu in 2023, and called Mapu his favorite player in the draft. Wish he gad been right.

I would absolutely love the Pats to draft Rodriguez.

What pick are you using to take him though? 31, trade down from 31, trading up from 63, or hoping to get lucky at 63?

198 works for me.

198 works for me.

Rodriguez will be long gone by 198..

I figure he goes anywhere from 45-75...
