Evaluating the Patriots draft options is an exercise we keep coming back to. Luckily, we have a bit of a pro to help us out this time around.
Chris Trapasso is the NFL draft and young player analyst for CBS Sports. We've been chasing Chris for a few weeks now to get his expertise on all things draft-related. Particularly, what the Patriots could (and should) do with their pick.
Patriots Draft Options: No Trading
Just to manage your expectations, we're not going through "trade down" scenarios here. We'll save that for another day, maybe. What we're doing instead is digging into Chris' latest mock draft and what he recommends the Pats do with that fourth pick.
We think you'll find some of his takes a bit outside-the-box when compared to what some of the other pundits are saying about the draft so far. But that's the fun thing about this whole exercise, right? Get more on the Toucher & Hardy page.

On the Toucher & Hardy show, we brought back our slate of regular contributors that join us during the NFL season. We figured they'd all have plenty to say about the Patriots early free agency moves, of which there were many.
Our own Alex Barth joined us on Monday to preview the week ahead and to showcase our Offseason Hub. That's the place to go to keep track of every move the Pats make and get same-day reactions from the Sports Hub hosts.
