New Mock with players I have not used or rarely used (generally)
#29 - Ryan Shazier - OLB - if he falls here he could be a surprise pick. No doubt the Patriots need depth at LB and Shazier is more than that. Also he can pass rush on top of everything else.
-TRADE- #62 for #70 & #114
#70 - Gabe Jackson - OG
#93 - CJ Feidorwicz - TE - They really need to pick one of the top 5 TEs no matter what.
#114 - Swanson - OC
#130 - James Gayle - DE
#140 - Brandon Thomas - OG* IRed - Kinda high for my taste but whatever : P
#198 - Morgan Breslin - OLB
#206 - Michael Sam - DE - Has the tenacity and prove it at the highest college level. May as well take a shot.
#244 - Lonnie Ballentine - FS (220 pounds so maybe more of a SS)
While trying to do this I realized the Patriots, especially in the first 4 rounds, have a fairly limited board. Not a lot of picks really make sense for them. I keep coming back to the same group of about 20 players they pretty much have to choose from.
They need one of the top 5 TEs
They need one of the top 3 Cs
They need one of the top coverage LBs (Shazier, C. Jones, Tripp, and a few more)
The only pick with much flexibility is the DE pick but they need someone there who can be an adequate backup at the least so that is a top 4 round pick.
