Patriots Mock Draft

Round 1

29. Robert Woods, WR, USC - I've been saying Woods will be this pick for weeks. It seems like the Patriots really like this kid. He is a smart receiver coming from a sophisticated offense at USC. Polished route runner with great hands. He's a playmaker and will start from day 1 with the Patriots.

Round 2

59. Alex Okafor, DE, Texas - Okafor was one of the best pass rushers in college football last year recording 12.5. He is very athletic and can get after the QB but he is also solid against the run. He even moved inside and played a little DT at Texas. He is expeted to be a left DE in the NFL which would be perfect opposite Chandler Jones.

Round 3

91. Tyrann Mathieu, CB/S, LSU - A lot of baggage comes with Mathieu but the Patriots seem very interested. He has met with Patriots multiple times. Belichick has no problem taking pot guys who slip. He is a playmaker on the field. He is versatile and has a swagger the Patriots Defense could use.

Round 7

226. Josh Boyce, WR, TCU - Boyce is a versatile WR, he lined up outside and in the slot at TCU. He is a big physical receiver. He has good hands and runs crisp routes. One of the best players in the 3 cone drill at the Combine which is something the Patriots look for. The Patriots have had success drafting WR in the 7th round (Givens & Edelman) so look for them to try it again this year especially with WR being a need.

235. Dustin Hopkins, K, Florida State - Hopkins is considered one of the best Kickers in this Draft. He has a strong leg with reliable accuracy. Has shown the ability to make high pressure kicks. This isn't a huge need for the Patriots but I believe they need to find someone better and more consistent than Gostkowski.

Patriots Mock Draft

Round 1 27. WR Kendall Wright, Baylor - It was reported that the Patriots went to Baylor for a last minute Private workout with Wright earlier this week. The Patriots did the same with Nate Solder last season and made the Pick. I can see the same scenario playing out with Wright. Wright is a versatile Receiver that can add a Dimension to the Patriots Offense that they don't currently have. He can play outside or in the slot. He plays extremely fast. A potential replacement for Wes Welker? 31. OLB Courtney Upshaw, Alabama - The Pass Rushing Outside Linebacker the Patriots have been looking for, for years. Upshaw is highly Instinctive, a great competitor, and a 4 down player. He is a leader on and off the field and is a Winner. I love everything Upshaw brings to the table and would love to see the Patriots Draft him. Round 2 48 . FS Harrison Smith, Notre Dame - After players like Matt Slater and James Ihedigbo saw significant time opposite Pat Chung last year the Patrio...
