Will the New England Patriots buck a longstanding trend in the 2022 NFL Draft?
ESPN’s Matt Miller on Tuesday released a seven-round NFL mock draft featuring predictions for 262 picks, including New England’s selection at No. 21 overall, and he projected the Patriots will choose a cornerback in the first round for the first time since 2010.
Miller’s prediction for the Patriots at No. 21: Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr.
Here’s what Miller wrote about the projected pick:
Booth could be the replacement for J.C. Jackson, and he could be the steal of the cornerback class here.
