2023 NFL mock draft: Patriots pick a running back in the first round?!

The New England Patriots have never been afraid of zagging when everybody expects them to zig, but this would be a radical move even for them: the latest mock draft by NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has them select a running back in the first round.

Texas’ Bijan Robinson is the top player at his position and a potential difference-maker, but the pick is still a curious one:

Texas · RB · Junior

The Patriots don’t think like every other franchise.
