Way-too-early 2024 NFL mock draft has Patriots pick an offensive tackle

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.
