For the New England Patriots, running back doesn’t feel like a position worthy of spending a first-round selection. However, if there’s a draft prospect outside of the perceived top two pressing needs that could be too talented to pass up, it could be Ashton Jeanty.
Additionally, given the Patriots own the No. 4 pick and several teams are starving for a quarterback, it’s possible New England could select Jeanty with one of its picks acquired within a trade.
This is a special player who is considered undoubtedly the best at his position in this year’s draft class.
