Mel Kiper Jr. floats intruiging trade idea for Patriots in 2022 NFL Draft

The 2022 NFL Draft is around the corner and the New England Patriots still have a lot of holes to fill.

First and foremost, the cornerback position is going to need attention following the loss of J.C. Jackson. Typically, Bill Belichick doesn’t draft the team’s biggest needs in the first round — but, he did make an exception last year by selecting Mac Jones.

New England went out grabbed Terrance Mitchell and Malcolm Butler in free agency to add some depth. The group now consists of Butler, Mitchell, Jalen Mills, Jonathan Jones, Joejuan Williams and Shaun Wade.
