Will the the New England Patriots fill another gaping hole on Day 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft?
ESPN’s Jordan Reid suggest they’ll do just that Wednesday in his 2022 NFL Mock Draft. Reid projects New England will use their first-round pick on Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd, who possess the versatility the Patriots have prized in recent years. Reid identifies cornerback, wide receiver and linebacker as the Patriots’ biggest draft needs and he believes Lloyd will help New England in a number of ways before possibly settling into a more-defined role.
“After the trade of Stephon Gilmore, cornerback and linebacker are likely the two biggest holes for New England entering the 2022 offseason,” Reid wrote.
