"Coach Vrabel knows his top priority this offseason is to protect the franchise, aka MVP-level quarterback Drake Maye. His offensive line in 2025 gave up 47 regular-season sacks and another 21 in four postseason games. The season culminated when they surrendered six sacks in the Super Bowl which dictated 'lights out'."
"Ultimate iron man at right tackle with 54 career starts. Miller has unusual lateral quickness and fluidity in space despite playing too upright. His hands lack accuracy and command in both phases, but he can recover and make blocks with a finisher's mindset. Miller is rarely beaten by rush games, but he has his edges attacked because of his hand issues."
The New England Patriots enter free agency with significant roster gaps that will influence their draft strategy. Coach Mike Vrabel prioritizes protecting franchise quarterback Drake Maye, whose offensive line surrendered 47 sacks during the regular season and 21 in postseason play, including six in the Super Bowl. The mock draft emphasizes sack prevention and production across multiple rounds. In Round 1, the Patriots select Blake Miller, a right tackle from Clemson, to replace Morgan Moses. Miller is described as an iron man with 54 career starts who possesses lateral quickness but needs improvement in pad level and technique. Round 2 focuses on adding interior offensive line support with Gennings Dunker from Iowa.
