As opposed to the first mock draft two weeks ago, we are indeed allowing trades this time. This one will only cover the first four rounds in the draft, with all the trade values based off the Rich Hill value chart. The goal here is not only to try to solve the New England Patriots’ gigantic hole at quarterback, but also to try to add quality depth pieces to the offense and defense based on who I think could be available for the team at their selections.
So, let’s get the party started.
TRADE: Patriots trade 1-15, 2022 1st, 2022 3rd, 2022 4th and CB Stephon Gilmore to the Detroit Lions for 1-7
1st round, 7th overall (via DET): QB Trey Lance, North Dakota State
In this mock scenario, I have Justin Fields going to the San Francisco 49ers with the third overall pick.
