Team needs

A quarterback wasn’t something the New England Patriots needed in a long time, but some people thought that was a big need. However, a bigger need was to shore up the defense after losing some veterans as well as a wide receiver.

2020 NFL Draft class

  • No. 37: Kyle Dugger, Safety, Lenoir-Rhyne
  • No. 60: Josh Uche, EDGE, Michigan
  • No. 87: Anfernee Jennings, Linebacker, Alabama

  • No. 101: Dalton Keene, Tight End, Virginia Tech
  • No. 159: Justin Rohrwasser, Kicker, Marshall
  • No. 182: Michael Onwenu, Guard, Michigan
  • No. 195: Justin Herron, Tackle, Wake Forest
  • No. 204: Cash Maluia, Linebacker, Wyoming
  • No. 230: Dustin Woodard, Center, Memphis

Draft review:

One of the best parts of the NFL Draft coverage was watching head coach Bill Belichick’s dog on the chair. Unfortunately with needless reaches (after trading up) for a pair of mediocre tight ends in the third round and taking a kicker in the fifth round, it seems like the dog drafted some of the picks!

The first three picks were fine, especially Kyle Dugger would have been a top-20 pick if he was in a Divison I school, but I’m going to go against Belichick against all common sense and say this was an underwhelming draft class.
