2027 Watch List

There are 7 linebackers I would draft tomorrow as future starters for the Pats

Round One/top 50

These three are obvious (not in order)

Chris Cole
KVA
Sammy Brown

Day Two

MIKE

Ray Coney
Whit Weeks

WILL

Ben Roberts
Raylen Wilson


Beyond that, people like Sammy Omosigho, Arion Carter and Tony Rojas and others are more wait and see prospects.
 
Jaylen McClain, Safety, Ohio State
6-0, 201


Very strong 2025 grades.

Run defense - 77.6
Tackling - 87.0 (6.9% missed tackle rate)
Coverage - 77.1

I have a very simple rule. don't discount anyone from Ohio State.

McClain plays with free safety range and gets up in run support in a hurry. He'd compliment Woodson very well. The knock on him is ball production. Zero interceptions and only 2 PBUs. Both will need to improve for him to get strong draft attention.



 

We're not in the market, hoping they all go 1st round.
