13 realistic first-round options for Patriots in the 2020 NFL Draft

Looking at the most compelling options that should be on the board for the Patriots at 23.

Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame

Injuries have held him back from the production that might put him in the first round. In 2019, Kmet had 43 catches for 515 yards and six touchdowns. His best comparison is Tyler Higbee. It’s not all that flattering. It’s a tough draft class for tight ends, and Kmet is probably the safest pick. He’s got clear upside and the physical tools that should get him on the field early. He’s just unlikely to develop into an elite tight end.
