Washington Football Team: Thomas Fletcher, LS, Alabama R4-135: WR Tyler Scott, Cincinatti (PFF Big Board: #119, B). New England Patriots: Ambry Thomas, CB, Michigan Bottom line, the Patriots need more production from Damien Harris and Sony Michel. Trask's arm and accurate pocket passing is a good fit for Scott Turner's offense. The New England Patriots' preparation for the 2023 NFL Draft is nearly complete. The Ravens need stronger outside depth behindStanley and now, based on this mock,Mayfield. Though Scott spent most of his career as a running back, that skill set shows after the catch, making him a threat downfield and underneath. 125. 153. QBs with DTR's arm and athleticism always get drafted. The Ravens need to address tackle after trading Orlando Brown Jr. to the Chiefs so it makes sense to take care of business with the first-rounder acquired in that deal as Mayfield can be a solid fit opposite Ronnie Stanley. 2 outside after only one season with Emmanuel Sanders and Williams has some of the same tough possession and field-stretching traits. 15 overall pick in 2021 and having him help lead the team to the playoffs as a rookie. But his profile would be a huge benefit to the defense during practices in the mean time. 133. On the other hand, its hard to imagine testing worse than he did at the Combine.

Jacksonville Jaguars(from Rams): Aaron Banks, G, Notre Dame 216. He's not the most physical player in the draft, but he plays with . NY Giants Round 1 Pick: Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba Trade Scenario: Giants trade up to pick No. He shows great patience to maximize rushing lanes, but creates his own yards with physicality, nifty running, and relentless effort.

Carolina Panthers: Jarret Patterson, RB, Buffalo 6-210: S Trey Dean III (Florida): You want to talk about testing ruining your draft stock, then Trey Dean should be the subject. The Raiders are very weak next to Johnathan Abram and Holland can do everything well to support him as a run defender and cover man.

I stuck with no trades for this third installment but targeted only offensive playersfor a better sense of which weapons, blockers, and passers could be available at New Englands current draft slots. Metchie tore his ACL in 2021 and may not contribute right away. The Chiefs would have thought about boosting their outside coverage should they have kept their first-rounder and Melifonwu's size can be particularly effective in their secondary. Scroll and see! Run the fades, slants, deep in-breakers. 141. Minnesota Vikings(from Bills): Rashad Weaver, EDGE, Pittsburgh So, what did you think of the draft? Past Round 1, Metchie and Georgia's George Pickens are my two favorite receivers for the Patriots in this year's draft. 129. The Cowboys have seen Jeff Heath and Xavier Woods leave in recent offseason and can get fine versatile safety help here. With Steen in-line to become the teams next starting tackle, Richards could serve as developmental depth while he improves his ability to sustain blocks and combat inside rush moves. The 49ers need to procure a better backup and contingency option for both Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt. It's finally NFL Draft week. 240. He's 6-0, 189 pounds with 32 3/8-inch arms . pic.twitter.com/DJso6XTdWY, Ryan McCrystal (@Ryan_McCrystal) April 7, 2023. 112. 173. Dallas Cowboys (compensatory): Alim McNeill, DT, N.C. State 190.

The Lions are in desperate need of inside power and quickness and Nixon can provide some good pass-rush juice, too. Phil Perry. That 40 time might scare a lot of teams away, but there are reasons why New England might still be interested in him. Though there was nothing that had major mock draft changes, it did show who meets athletic . Taylor Kyles is the lead NFL Analyst for CLNS Media covering players, schemes, and tendencies through a New England Patriots-centric lens.

He's wide and fast, has great footwork and pocket technique. Seattle Seahawks: Marquez Stevenson, WR, Houston Rashed Jr. made for a strange projection in the 2021 draft. They got that pick from the New Orleans Saints. McFadden will likely switch to guard at the next level due to less-than-ideal measurables, but he checks a lot of boxes for the Patriots. Whether he makes the switch to safety or not, his athletic upside makes him an intriguing selection. Atlanta Falcons(compensatory): Josh Ball, OT, Marshall By Taylor Kyles 04/17/2023 7 Mins Read. He certainly has other deficiencies, but his one solid trait catching the ball out of the backfield could help the Patriots these next few years. 231. That makes it a great time to deliver Sporting News' seven-round mock draft ahead of when the actual selections are made from April 29 . Los Angeles Chargers: Rachad Wildgoose, CB, Wisconsin Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama (5-10, 182 pounds). The Jaguars had some of the worst safety play in the NFL last season. That just doesn't feel like a swing Bill . Britt, LB, Auburn You may worry about a new offensive tackle busting an assignment, but he recognizes the DB blitz here and makes an athletic play to get a block on him. 159. This clip comes from Mike Penix Jr.'s second INT, but it was interesting to watch Luke Haggard here. Look for the Patriots to continue overhauling their receiving corps after adding Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor in free agency. Finishing the draft with a Division II punter would be an extremely Bill Belichick thing to do, and it makes me happy. Bears reunite Justin Fields with former college teammate in PFF's new mock draft. Hes a smart, tough, and versatile player who could contribute heavily as a rookie. 202. With Pro Days, the Combine and free agency about wrapped up and only team visits left, the NFL draft is nearly upon us. Though Downs 58, 171 lb frame will likely keep him in the slot, hes similarly dynamic to Flowers downfield and after the catch. However, I do believe it is. Additionally, J.C. Jackson who had 9 interceptions in 2020 has an unclear future. Although he has the frame ready to play from day one at nose in the interior of an NFL line, he could also opt to add a good amount of play weight where he could shift inside and work in tandem with Godchaux if need be. Enjoy! March 22, 2021. 161. Round 1, No. We're now close enough to the 2023 NFL draft where the all the smoke could actually lead us to the fire. The Patriots signed former Bill OBrien-recruit Trace McSorley to the roster last week, but that wont dissuade them from adding another quarterback if someone they like falls in the draft. Green Bay Packers(compensatory): Malcolm Koonce, EDGE, Buffalo Denver Broncos(from Giants): Drew Dalman, C/G, Stanford Time will tell how long Stephon Gilmore remains in Foxborough, but for now, hes New Englands CB1. New Orleans Saints(compensatory): Brady Breeze, S, Oregon For starters, he was able to post a 6.58 in the the three-cone drill at his Pro Day, which is elite, and also put up 25 reps on the bench. New Orleans Saints: Max Duffy, P, Kentucky The Patriots are in need of a guy with some size on the outside, and the 22-year-old will be able to provide them with that. Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki are good players, but neither is an exceptional blocker and both are free agents next offseason. An NCAA Indoor Championship record! Things have been shaken up the draft rankings and this 7 round mock draft world! 23.

Miami Dolphins(from Chiefs):TaQuon Graham, DE/DT, Texas The first-team All-American in 2019 was all over the field, forcing fumbles, breaking up passes, and getting pressure on the quarterback from the inside linebacker position.

Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama (6-2, 203 pounds). Azeez Ojulari, OLB, Georgia(6-3, 240 pounds). By: John Blair. 197. Pittsburgh Steelers(fromRavens): Shane Buechele, QB, SMU So it's interesting to bring our focus on how the roster might change in the 2022 NFL draft, with the . ESPN's Jordan Reid bravely projected all seven rounds in an epic 2023 NFL Mock Draft that includes predictions for all 11 of New England's picks. The Titans broke up with Adoree' Jackson and Macolm Butler in free agency so adding Mukuamu's size with Janoris Jenkins and Krisitian Fulton would help. The Browns need to keep thinking of boosting defense everywhere and they can land a quick backfield disruptor for the inside here. The Eagles have had a mess at cornerback of late and here they can target a strong slot solution with the athleticism, quickness and toughness needed. The Jets love building in the trenches through the draft and if the mock from Draft Wire is any indication, they're going to continue doing so. 247. I mean sure, does it help to have Heisman-trophy-winning DeVonta Smith out wide, Najee Harris alongside you in the backfield, all the while playing behind potential first-round selection Alex Leatherwood and day-two selection Landon Dickerson on a stout Crimson Tide offensive line?

Starling Thomas V plays with patience and has an insane first step out of his breaks.Off man-coverage in slotweave to maintain inside leveragesettles at top of route, eyes glued to receivers hipexplodes out of breakarrives with violence for the PBU.Playmaker pic.twitter.com/Nm5aj1vqEp. The Vikings like to keep rebuilding defensively and the second level needs some attention with Anthony Barr back for only more season. Some look at Paye as more of an inside pass-rushing force but regardless, he's an athletic freak for his sizeand Brian Flores will love him adding to the multiplicity of their defensive front. New England Patriots 7-Round NFL Mock Draft. R6-210: WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton, West Virginia (PFF Big Board: #157, A+). Cincinnati Bengals(from DolphinsthroughTexans): Robert Jones, G, MIddle Tennessee State A chance to learn behind David Andrews, Michael Onwenu, and Shaq Mason could do wonders for Moore, who would most likely be used as a depth piece in his first year. With no picks in the seventh round, here are the final results of this seven-round mock draft for the Broncos: Round 3: No. There are also serious concerns about whether or not Reiff can be a competent starter at right tackle. Surtain vs. Farley as the top corner is a good debate and the Cowboys can't go wrong with either one to take of care their primary defensive need with one of the two safest defensive picks in the draft. Hes also 31, and with little depth behind him, an addition such as Hilliardwho touts excellent experience and range at the second levelis a must-add this late in the draft. Sure, you can make that argument. New York Giants: Tarron Jackson, EDGE, Coastal Carolina The Dolphins moved down three spots and still may end up with their top early target.

Las Vegas Raiders(from Dolphins): Brady Christensen, OT, BYU 2023 7-Round Mock Draft (Rounds 1-3) (Shane) 12.0. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cameron Sample, EDGE/DT, Tulane Green Bay Packers: Chris Evans, RB, Michigan MORE:The biggest fourth-round steals since 2000. R3-76: OT Tyler Steen, Alabama (PFF Big Board: #106, C+). 149. The Saints had to cut Malcom Brown in free agency so they make a second straight addition to Allen's front four.

McCarthy is sacked by Georgia linebacker Quay Walker during the second half of U-M's 34-11 loss in the Orange Bowl on Friday, Dec. 31, 2021, in Miami Gardens, Florida. Green Bay Packers: Camaron Cheeseman, LS, Michigan Getting Joe Burrow another big-time playmaker at wide receiver or tight end will be temptingbut upgrading the pass protection is vital. He was a physical guy who consistently flashed in that all-star setting, and, with his Combine performance likely dropping him down draft boards, dont be surprised if Dean ends up a Patriot. Williams spent the last four seasons in New England. Evans being able to actually kick the ball into the end zone, or, at least get it high enough to give the coverage guys a chance to get down and defend the kick, should help with that problem. 162. New Englands staff is also very familiar with Flowers after coaching him at the Senior Bowl and bringing him in for a Top-30 visit. Set up some WR screens, too. Campbell has the size to develop into a shutdown cover man in time but for now he's best known for being an active, aggressive on-ball playmaker. Its been a whirlwind of an offensive for do-it-all head coach Bill Belichick, and it could lead to the team approaching the draft in a best player available mentality as April 29 quickly approaches. Haggard is not ready to start this year, but he could be the top option opposite Broderick Jones in 2024, which makes this pick a no-brainer for me. The Penn State defense went in the tank afterwards, showing the reason impact he had on that team. But using all 10 picks seems unlikely. Odds and lines subject to change. NFL Mock Draft Irrelevant." Did I put the Patriots in a position to kick off a new dynasty? April 15, 2023 10:30 am CT. The 2021 NFL Draft is a little more than twoweeks away.
