New England Patriots
Things started strong for the Patriots after they traded out of the first round, but they faded down the stretch. Lenoir-Rhyne’s Kyle Dugger is an impressive athlete who gives them much needed youth on the back end of the defense, and tons of versatility. Michigan’s Josh Uche is another versatile defender who lit up the Senior Bowl.
Alabama’s Anfernee Jennings was destined to land in New England, but things got strange after that. UCLA tight end Devin Asiasi was a solid addition, but there were better tight ends available. That made it even more strange when the Pats traded up just 10 picks later to pass on all of them again, this time for Virginia Tech’s Dalton Keene.
Michigan’s Mike Onwenu and Wake Forest’s Justin Herron were solid picks at guard in the sixth round, but the most impactful Day 3 pick will likely turn out to be Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser, who could replace Stephen Gostkowski.
