Over the first two days of the 2021 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots filled their biggest need on offense and bolstered their defensive front seven: quarterback Mac Jones was added on Thursday, with defensive tackle Christian Barmore and edge linebacker Ronnie Perkins joining him one day later. Despite those additions, however, there are still some spots on the roster that might benefit from seeing more depth and developmental youth added.
Luckily for the Patriots there is still plenty of talent available as a look at the top 50 selections remaining on friend of Pats Pulpit Arif Hasan’s Big Board shows:
Second-round talents (2)
Interior defensive line
Daviyon Nixon (Iowa)
The Patriots upgraded their defensive line not just in free agency but also by drafting arguably the best defensive tackle in this year’s class, Alabama’s Christian Barmore, in the second round.
