COMMENTARY
After the departures of Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins, and Elandon Roberts from last year’s team, the Patriots find themselves thin at the linebacker position. As it stands, Dont’a Hightower and Ja’Whaun Bentley project to fill two starting linebacker positions, but the team could still use more depth there in 2020.
Luckily for New England, this year’s linebacker draft class is quite talented, and there are many options for the team to choose from. Here are some of the best draft fits for the Patriots at linebacker.
Patrick Queen, LSU
Height/weight: 6-feet-1-inch, 227 pounds
At the top of this year’s linebacker class are LSU’s Patrick Queen and Oklahoma’s Kenneth Murray.
