The New England Patriots have to address the perimeter in some way, shape, or form to assist Mac Jones moving into year two—they currently field a pass-catching corps headlined by in-line threats Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith with Jakobi Meyers set to enter free agency.
What looks to be a deep draft with differentiating skill sets aplenty, whether Bill Belichick is in search of a true ‘X’, a versatile inside/out big-bodied target to dominate the MOF, or a smaller-statured threat to present an ultimate chess piece within his offense, the talent pool available in this year’s class presents an enticing menu to pull from.
With that said, here are six wideouts Belichick could have his sights set on moving into the meat of the pre-draft circuit.The NFL is a copycat league, and as we’ve seen Deebo Samuel wreak havoc on defenses across football the majority of the season, comparing his frame and skill set to that of the ‘Weapon X’ in Burks presents an awfully intriguing prospect late in Round 1.
Arguably the cream of the crop in this year’s class as a YAC threat, Burks is a load to bring down when the ball is in his hands at 220-plus pounds and is ultra-smooth as both a route-runner and when asked to snatch 50/50 balls out of the air. If used correctly within Josh McDaniels’ offense that allows Jones to get the ball out of his hands quickly, Burks could be the optimal addition.Smooth as silk as a route-runner, Olave presents the ideal mold Belichick drools over in his wideouts.

FowlerRyan1 They haven’t been able to figure it out with the big body type of WR. Burks seems like another Nkeal Harry to me
FowlerRyan1 They need to upgrade a slow plodding defense too

Steelers Mock Draft 2022: Finding Pittsburgh's Next QB | The Draft NetworkThe Steelers' season is over and so is Ben Roethlisberger's career. It's time for a new era in Pittsburgh. DP_NFL gets Pittsburgh a new QB & more in his brand new 7-round Steelers mock. FrontOffice33 | HereWeGo DP_NFL Would definitely take this as a Steelers fan DP_NFL This is not a good mock. Terrible value on the first trade, trading that far up in the 2nd for a LT when what we need is C-RG-RT(also Jax would laugh at that trade offer). After that isn’t bad but this doesn’t help rebuild our OL. DP_NFL No center? When's the last time we traded 3 times in the same draft? Never. I like Ridder and Walker. And Moore did better than expected as a 4th rounder.

Brentley12 Hey Brentley12 I'm sure you are aware we have an opening...you're hired lol. Great mock! Brentley12 The Doubs pick would be great, he’d probably move Edward down the depth chart ultimately. I’m partial to Aaron Mosby if “we’re” picking EDGE defenders from the Mt. West. I’m obviously biased towards my fellow Fresno State alums but Mosby’s frame and speed I think project well.
