“The Patriots went with the very best participant accessible at No. 4, however that meant bypassing arguably their greatest roster gap. They’ll rectify that by getting again into the primary spherical for one more Day 1 decide. In the meantime, Payments basic supervisor Brandon Beane can slide down to amass further draft capital, much like what he did in 2024. I’ve the Patriots buying and selling a second-rounder (No. 38) and a third-rounder (No. 77) to the Payments for No. 30 and a fourth-rounder (No. 109).”
Hunter would give the Patriots the very best offensive playmaker on the draft board, whereas Conerly would strengthen the offensive line considerably as a franchise left sort out.
The Patriots may have loads of choices on the board, however an aggressive trade-up strategy would assist them deal with two of their weakest areas proper out of the gates.
