There’s been a ton of chatter about how the Patriots will use the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and understandably so.
But what about New England’s approach for its other top selections next month?
NFL draft analyst Chad Reuter widened the scope in a four-round mock draft published Friday to NFL.com. Reuter believes the Patriots will stay put and select quarterback Drake Maye third overall, but he doesn’t see New England standing pat in Round 2. Reuter projects Jerod Mayo and company to trade up to No. 34 overall to select Amarius Mims, an offensive tackle out of Georgia.
