On Day 3 of the NFL Draft, the New England Patriots bolstered their defensive lineup by selecting Bradyn Swinson from LSU with the 146th pick. Experts suggest Swinson is an intriguing talent, previously regarded among the top 100 prospects, making this selection seem like a steal. Despite concerns about his maturity, several analysts highlighted his impressive pass rush capabilities, noting he ranked among the top in the FBS last season with 8.5 sacks. This pick continues the Patriots’ focus on enhancing their defense after prioritizing offense early in the draft.
Swinson is a twitched-up edge rusher who was considered a top-100 player by most. Getting him at 146 is an absolute steal for the Patriots.
Talent-wise there is no question that Swinson is an intriguing player and he would not have made it to the 146th pick based on his on-field performances alone.
In an expanded role for the Tigers last year he showed his pass rush ability by ranking top-five in the FBS in pressures with a 22.1 percent pass rush win rate.
The Patriots continue to add to their defense after going all-offense on the first two days.
