As the NFL Draft quickly approaches, it seems like every analyst has a mock draft -- some people more than one -- but one released Tuesday was interesting relating to the Patriots.
NFL Media's Peter Schrager has the team trading up to No. 12 overall with the Eagles and selecting Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
"Everyone seems to think Philadelphia is looking to trade up into the top 10, but I believe the Eagles are a prime team to trade down, looking to squeeze out another first-round pick for next year -- giving them potentially four in 2022 -- or an additional second-rounder in 2021," Schrager wrote. "New England gives up its second-round pick (No. 46) to move up three spots for the Heisman-winning, Nick Saban-endorsed star WR1."
In this mock draft, the five of the top nine picks were quarterbacks.
In 13 games last season, Smith finished with 117 catches for 1,856 yards and 23 touchdowns.
