It was common in mocks to see the New England Patriots target an edge rusher with their first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
That didn’t happen, of course, as head coach Bill Belichick and Co. elected to trade down from No. 23 overall, then they grabbed Lenoir-Rhyne safety Kyle Duggar with the team’s first overall pick at No. 37 overall.
That’s fine. But one could make the argument the Pats’ second pick of the draft, Michigan EDGE Josh Uche at No. 60 overall, was the bigger splash. And a bargain, too.
