ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper put out his latest mock draft on Tuesday, and he has the New England Patriots going defense in the first round.
Kiper has the Patriots taking Christian Gonzalez out of Oregon with the 14th overall pick.
This is certainly an intriguing pick, given that New England does need help in the secondary. They were able to bring back several players from the cornerback room last year, including Jonathan Jones and Myles Bryant. Gonzalez would be yet another piece in the room.
Gonzalez had 50 tackles and four interceptions for the Ducks last season.
