The New England Patriots had their busiest day of the offseason Tuesday, when they traded defensive end Chandler Jones and picked up guard Jonathan Cooper and pass rusher Chris Long. It was back to the scouting trail for Bill Belichick on Wednesday, however.
The Patriots coach attended Georgia’s pro day for a closer look at their draft-eligible prospects.
The Bulldogs have multiple players at positions of need for the Patriots. Here are Georgia’s top prospects, with the round in which they’re projected to be drafted.
OLB Leonard Floyd, Round 1
OT John Theus, Round 3
OLB Jordan Jenkins, Rounds 3 to 4
WR Malcolm Mitchell, Round 4
RB Keith Marshall, Rounds 5 to 6
FB Quayvon Hicks, Round 7
K Marshall Morgan, Round 7
LS Nathan Theus, Round 7
DT Chris Mayes, Undrafted
DE Sterling Bailey, Undrafted
The Patriots should be looking to add a linebacker, an offensive tackle, a wide receiver and a running back in the early rounds of the draft. They picked up an additional second-round draft pick along with Cooper when they traded Jones to the Arizona Cardinals.
