If you are wondering why I skipped #6, there is already an excellent article on Deebo Samuel’s fit with the Patriots by Bernd. Instead what I’ll do is move onto my #5 fit for the Patriots in the draft with NIU OT Max Scharping. The Patriots have drafted a tackle in the first three rounds twice in the last two years, but both players have not played a single regular season snap to date. Antonio Garcia had an off-the-field health issue that led to him being released one year after getting drafted and Isaiah Wynn missed his rookie season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
