The New England Patriots have the fourth overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. They have a need at offensive tackle, but may not be able to pass up on an explosive playmaker.
Ashton Jeanty is the best running back in this draft class and could be a real asset for Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye. The Patriots already have Rhamondre Stevenson, but Jeanty is a different type of playmaker. NFL.com's Chad Reuter predicted the Patriots would select Jeanty with the fourth overall pick and address their need at offensive tackle later.
"In this scenario, the Patriots take the best player on the board and meet their need at offensive tackle with picks in the second and fourth rounds," wrote Reuter.
