With the NFL Scouting Combine underway in Indianapolis this week, draft stocks will surely rise and fall — at least in the eye of those in the media. Among them is ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr, who published his latest mock on the first day of the week-long evaluation event.
When it comes to the New England Patriots at No. 21, Kiper believes that a defensive edge might be on the menu: he projects the team will go with Arnold Ebiketie out of Penn State.
The Patriots got 12.5 sacks from free-agent pickup Matthew Judon last season, while Kyle Van Noy was second on the team with five.
