Now that we are a few weeks into free agency, I thought it would be a good time to release my Mock Draft 2.0. In my first mock, which I released before the Super Bowl, I had the New England Patriots focusing on the defensive backfield, and staying at pick No. 21 to do it.
However, looking at this class — thin up top, but incredibly deep — and knowing how the Patriots approach the draft, I think it is very likely that they decide to trade out of 21. With the exception of last year, when they traded up for Christian Barmore and made no other trades, the Patriots are usually good for quite a few trades, so I decided to make a few here as well.
