With the New England Patriots set to make their first selection in the 2024 NFL Draft at No. 3 overall, NFL Network analysts have offered their opinions on which prospects would be ideal fits for the team. Using Pro Football Network's game-changing multi-user Mock Draft Simulator, we compiled a comprehensive 7-round mock draft for the Patriots.
Round 1, Pick 3: C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State
NFL Network's Marc Ross believes Stroud is the perfect quarterback for the Patriots, stating: "He's a natural leader with a strong arm and excellent decision-making." Ross also praised Stroud's mobility and ability to extend plays.
Round 1, Pick 14 (via Rams): Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia
Bucky Brooks believes that Carter would be a game-changer for the Patriots' defense. "He's a dominant interior presence who can disrupt the passing game and stop the run," Brooks said. Carter's versatility and athleticism make him a perfect fit for New England's multiple defensive fronts.
Round 2, Pick 35: Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina
Lance Zierlein suggests that Downs would be a perfect complement to the Patriots' offense. "He's a versatile receiver who can play inside or outside and make plays in the slot," Zierlein said. Downs' quickness and route-running ability would provide a much-needed boost to the Patriots' passing game.
Round 2, Pick 46: Derick Hall, OLB, Auburn
Rhett Lewis believes that Hall would be a valuable addition to the Patriots' defense. "He's a quick and athletic edge rusher who can get after the quarterback," Lewis said. Hall's ability to create pressure and force turnovers would be a welcomed addition to New England's defense.
