The 2023 NFL Draft is just behind us, but that does not mean some folks are already looking ahead at next year. Over at Pro Football Focus, a new mock is projecting players for the 2024 draft.

12. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: OT JC LATHAM, ALABAMA
Latham was an elite pass-protector at right tackle for Alabama this past season as a sophomore. He earned an 84.5 pass-blocking grade on true pass sets, fourth among all tackles in the country.
