As the NFL season concludes, Patriots fans' attention shifts to the offseason, particularly the draft. With a new head coach, Mike Vrabel, and a restructured staff, speculation is rife regarding the team's strategy. Matt Miller's latest mock draft has the Patriots selecting defensive tackle Mason Graham at No. 4 overall, an intriguing choice given their more urgent needs in other areas. Miller notes that with ample salary cap space, the team can likely address those needs in free agency, allowing them to focus on building a strong defensive foundation with Graham at 3-technique.
"The Patriots are projected to take defensive tackle Mason Graham from Michigan with their No. 4 overall pick, surprising for not addressing team needs directly."
"Miller suggests Vrabel might use this pick to discover a defensive cornerstone like Jeffery Simmons, a former Titans first-round pick now celebrated in the NFL."
