Patriots 2016 Nfl Draft:

This is our second preview of the NFL Draft as Derek Havens and Steve Balestrieri preview the NFL Draft on Defense.

In this episode, we discussed in detail the Patriots schedule for the 2016 season. We also discussed the release of Dominique Easley, and also the opening of OTA’s for the Patriots.

Looking back at Mallett’s time in New England and his career since leaving, it’s time to revisit the 2011 NFL draft. Here are 10 players New England could have selected instead of Mallett.

We went back and made a list of our Top 5 drafts in the Patriots history. And the 2016 class will have some big shoes to fill.

The Patriots still have needs at OT, RB, CB and now at DT with the releases of Dominique Easley, Chris Jones, and Ishmaa’ily Kitchen

Hargrave has the first step explosion to get off the line quickly and get after the quarterback with excellent snap anticipation.

Carl Nassib from Penn State led the country in sacks with 15.5 in 2015 and also had 19.5 tackles for loss (TFL) and six forced fumbles.

Cravens can be expected to play the WILL linebacker position. He’d also be an outstanding candidate to play the “Big Nickel” position for the Patriots.

This is our fist preview of the NFL Draft, and in this episode, we concentrated on the offensive positions in the draft.

Le’Raven Clark from Texas Tech is a player that would not only fit into the Patriots system but would push for reps at right tackle immediately

Cyrus Jones from Alabama is a player that would seem to be very much a Patriots target in the draft. He’s a versatile, productive player from a prestigious, successful program that has improved each year.

In this episode, we discussed the additions of Terrance Knighton, Clay Harbor, E.J. Biggers, and Nate Washington to the Patriots. We also discussed the contract extension for Patrick Chung. Lastly, we discussed some players to look for in the NFL Draft at offensive tackle and running back.
