I just read this one and, I have to say, I don't hate it:
Tyler Lamb, Stadium Rant
4.) Pats Add Generational Talent & Trade Back Up© Abdul Carter Penn State
Since Jerod Mayo and Joe Milton won a meaningless week 18 game, the Patriots will miss out on Travis Hunter. Everything is not doom and gloom because Abdul Carter fell in this mock draft. He has only had one year as a full-time pass rusher, and learning and playing with the highest-paid defensive player in football can maximize his potential cause all of the tools and traits are there for him to be elite.
TRADE NE sends 38/106/171 and a 2026 2nd to LA Rams for 26 overall
1.26) Luther Burden Jr, WR, Missouri
Drake Maye finally gets the young, exciting WR1 he can grow with. Burden may be unfairly looked at as a slot only guy who can win underneath but that’s foolishness, Brady Cook SUCKS and habitually over thew Burden on deep routes. This guy is versatile, dynamic, and explosive. The Maye to Burden connection would feed families.
3.69) Wyatt Milum, OL, West Virginia
Milum’s versatility in five offensive-line positions makes him an excellent value in the third round. His arm length is less than ideal on the outside, but he can swing out to either edge in a pinch. His best position is going to be left guard. Wyatt has the footwork, pad level, and hand speed to be an above-average interior offensive lineman.
3.77) Anthony Belton, OT, NC State
Belton is one of the more powerful linemen in this class, and his plays are marked by intense violence. However, he sometimes gets ahead of himself, which causes him to whiff on the block. With Doug Marrone in-house, Belton can definitely overcome those issues and become a plus starter at left tackle.
The Patriots will emerge from this mock with one of the league’s most improved pass rush units, a potentially elite weapon, and two starters on the left side of the offensive line.
