#29 New England Patriots: Louis Nix, DT ND
Rory’s Take: With Wilfork getting older and Kelly being himself, the Patriots need a potentially dominant defensive lineman on the inside to be the future of this defense. Nix would be an ideal fit.
Chase’s Take: Another pick we have had more consistently recently, Nix’s drop in draft stock works perfectly into the Patriots hands as they grab a replacement for Wilfork in Nix who could thrive in the Patriots system.
