One LB for the Patriots in each round of the 2020 NFL Draft

After losing some serious depth at LB this offseason, the Patriots could look to the draft to replenish.

Round 3 – Logan Wilson, Wyoming

Logan Wilson out of Wyoming is a downhill tackler, who has a relentless pursuit toward the ball. He isn’t the best coverage guy, but he has an uncanny ability to read plays and maneuver past blockers. In all four seasons at Wyoming, Wilson never recorded less than 90 tackles. Wilson would be a steal if the Patriots could grab him with their final pick in the third round (No. 100).

Round 4 – Willie Gay Jr., Mississippi State

Willie Gay Jr. out of Mississippi State is one of this draft’s best off-ball linebackers. He runs a 4.46 40-yard dash at 243 pounds and his ability to cover sideline to sideline is unlike most linebackers in this class. Gay has had the tendency to be too aggressive and jump the gun, so the mental aspect of his game needs some work. The Patriots have the No. 125 pick in the fourth round and Gay would be an absolute steal if he’s still around.
