The New England Patriots’ list of pre-draft visitors to Gillette Stadium now includes two projected first-round edge rushers.
After hosting Georgia’s Nolan Smith for a top-30 visit last week, the Patriots plan to do the same with Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson this Friday, according to a report Tuesday from Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
While some have speculated the undersized Smith could slide into the bottom half of Round 1, Wilson is widely viewed as a likely top-10 pick. Breer called him a “top-10 lock,” which would put him out of the Patriots’ range unless they swing a trade to move up from No.
