Mock Draft 3.0 – Patriots Get Depth, Fill Needs

Steve Balestrieri

Of course, if the Bills decline to match the Patriots offer, New England will have to turn over their 5th round draft pick to Buffalo

Love the Milano pick. You have the Pats gambling quite a bit with repeat drug offenders in Williams and Clemons.... I'm not sure the pats take two risks like that.
 
The first 3 picks are the important ones, and I like it. Big time potential with Williams and Davenport. Williams, even as just a situational rusher, could be huge here. His speed and explosiveness off the edge isnt something usually seen here. He's be a great complement to the strength of Ealy and Flowers, and Nink would be a great mentor to develop as a stand up and hand down guy.

Really need a tackle with potential. One injury and were in trouble against teams that can apply pressure. Davenport is a bit of a project and may not be trusted as a rookie but at least he's someone with the talent to play. That can mask some technical deficiencies in the short term.

I'd prefer a move TE for the 3rd roster spot, but that's me. Someone that can create some mismatches. I do like Kittle though and he's give us the ability of keep 2 2 way tight ends on the field if Allen or Gronk are hurt.

Upside is a good way to go on Day 3, so Harvey-Clemons and Davis sound good to me. Milano could be one of those solid performers that surprise people.

I'd love to find a way to get an edge rusher than can't play now, as well as landing Passagnon to develop, in a dream scenario. His potential on the edge, but also to kick inside with 15 more pounds, as well as his potential on kick blocking units gives him a lot of versatility and big time upside. Just don't want to have to count on him as a rookie.

Love the Davenport, Kittle, and Davis picks. The other guys aren't my cup of tea, but I totally get the thought-process behind the choices. Milano could be a very good player in the right role. Williams and Harvey-Clemons just aren't worth the off-field risk, in my opinion.

Still, nice work. I could live with this mock. One suggestion: Could we see the full Fanspeak simulation? It would certainly help to add context to your choices, if we could see who came off the board at each pick. Thanks!
 
I like the drafy but im iffy on williams. His off the field issues are obvious and it seems like everybody here knows of them already. But as a player i know he can rush the passer but he seems very light. I know you said he can put on weight so hopefully that is true. But when i watch his tape i have trouble trying to find a player to compare him too.
 
IMHO, we will draft a GUARD and possibly a CENTER. As of now, Barker and Karras are our backups, and are on the 53.

I thought Barker was on the PS all last season.
 
I think he has been on the PS more than one year.

Three years, by my count. I think that means that his PS eligibility is up. If so, he either "graduates" to the 53-man this off-season or moves on elsewhere.
