Patriots Mock Draft Roundup: ‘Experts’ Predict First-Round Pick

It seems just about everyone feels the same way: If either Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter are on the board when the Patriots are on the clock, New England will select the blue-chip prospect. If not, however, expect Mike Vrabel and company to go after a left tackle.

NFL Mock Draft Database compiled hundreds of mock drafts and 27% have the Patriots selecting Hunter. Recently, however, Campbell has become “trendy,” per the database. Campbell currently represents the second-most popular pick (26.2%) with Carter third (14.1%).
