ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. had several interesting selections for the New England Patriots in his latest two-round mock draft.
He has the Patriots focusing on the defensive side of the ball by taking Oregon standout cornerback Christian Gonzalez with the No. 14 overall pick. However, in the second round, things move back over to the offense with the team crossing out a major need along the offensive front.
Kiper has New England taking Syracuse offensive tackle Matthew Bergeron with the No. 46 pick.
Bergeron was a team captain in his junior season last year.
