The New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> added another defensive player on Saturday, this time targeting the defensive line when they made their second selection of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

With pick #137 in round four, the Patriots selected Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, adding depth to a defensive line that still has some question marks.<\/p>\n

New England signed Philadelphia Eagles free agent Milton Williams this offseason, but there are still some questions about the health of Christian Barmore.\u00a0 Barmore, who signed an extension last offseason<\/strong><\/a> but sat out most of 2024 with a blood clot diagnosis, has been in Foxboro working out this offseason but his health status is still unknown.<\/p>\n

The early chatter about his health has been positive.\u00a0 But having suffered a setback after attempting a return late last season, it’s not necessarily a given he’ll be 100% healthy for the season.\u00a0 The hope is that he’ll make a full recovery, but adding Farmer injects some youth into a unit that also saw Davon Godchaux traded to the Saints earlier this offseason.<\/p>\n

As for Farmer, the 6’3″, 305 standout from FSU played all four years for the Seminoles, tallying 79 tackles, 11 sacks, and 21 tackles for a loss over 42 games.\u00a0 He also put up a 5.11 40-yard dash at the Combine.<\/p>\n

Farmer certainly has plenty to prove.\u00a0 He came into last season with a lot of confidence, believing that he would be a first-round selection<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Instead, he’s a fourth-round pick who is heading to a team where he’ll now have an opportunity to carve out a role for himself at the next level here in New England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
