Felger and Mazz Big Board: Running backs for the Patriots in the 2021 NFL Draft
After tackling mostly defense last week, the Felger & Mazz Big Board moved on to skill positions on Monday. First up for potential ball carriers was running backs, which has been a contentious position for Patriots fans in recent years.
Running back is somewhat of a position of need for the Patriots this year, in regards to the long-term outlook of the roster. Rex Burkhead is no longer with the team, and Sony Michel is entering the final concrete year of his contract. They likely don’t need to use a premium pick on a player at the position, but adding some depth late on Day 3 would help round out the roster.
As luck would have it, the three backs picked on Monday all fit that mold. Here’s a look at the results…
