Mel Kiper Jr. has the Patriots making a major splash in the latest version of his 2021 NFL mock draft.
Kiper, a longtime draft analyst, has New England moving up six spots in the first round to select North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance. The Patriots, of course, currently are among the most QB-needy teams in the league, and Bill Belichick and Co. might need to be aggressive if they want to land one of the top five prospects at the position this year.
What would the Patriots need to surrender in order to make their way into the top 10 of the draft? Kiper's...
