Patriots 2024 NFL Draft First-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 3 Overall
Player Prediction: Drake Maye - QB, North Carolina
DRAFT ANALYSIS: There's a buzz around New England snagging a QB with their pick, but let's not pencil that in just yet. The Patriots' war room is turning every quarterback prospect this side of the Mississippi over for a closer look, and draft night might still bring some curveballs. What if their top QB choice isn't on the board when they're on the clock? Could we see a trade-down? While I’m not saying a trade is a foregone conclusion, it’s definitely in the cards.

Whoever does make the call from this spot, bet your bottom dollar it’s likely for a quarterback and Minnesota's been itching to come up. With nothing imminent on the horizon trade-wise, Maye goes to the Pats for the sake of this exercise.
Patriots 2024 NFL Draft Second-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 34 Overall
Player Prediction: Keon Coleman - WR, Florida State
DRAFT ANALYSIS: After landing QB Drake Maye in the fold, New England continues its offensive onslaught and grabs a true type of X wide receiver in Coleman here. This spot could be a tad high for him depending on what scouts you talk to, but this team needs a pass catcher and continued help on offense badly.
There are questions about Coleman's ability to separate, but this guy is a walking highlight reel.
