New NFL mock draft has Patriots addressing major need on defense with 31st pick
"Parker has an established resume across three seasons with the Tigers, posting 126 total tackles, 21.5 sacks, 41.5 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, and six fumble recoveries over 39 total games at Death Valley."
"This need is apparent in New England, with Patriots.com writer Mike Dussault calling edge the biggest hole on the roster while noting the defense simply didn't generate enough pressure last season with a standard four-man rush."
"New England did add a pass-rusher last month by signing Dre'Mont Jones to a three-year, $39.5 million contract. But, New England could use as much help as it can get when it comes to getting after opposing QBs."
T.J. Parker recorded 21.5 sacks in three seasons at Clemson, showcasing his potential as a pass-rusher. The New England Patriots, having addressed some needs in free agency, still require additional defensive strength. NFL.com's mock draft suggests selecting Parker with the 31st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Patriots struggled with pressure last season, and Parker's impressive college stats, including 126 tackles and six forced fumbles, make him a strong candidate to enhance their defense.
