We know what you’re probably thinking. We get it. They already have Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson atop the depth chart. They have major issues on the left side of their offensive line. They simply have other needs and targets they could spend the No. 4 pick on. All of this is true.
However, there is an argument to be made for the New England Patriots drafting Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty at No. 4 overall: he is a damn good football player, and if they are serious about going best player available, it looks increasingly likely he will be just that once they are on the clock.
