Vicariously Patriots: My 140 man Patriots 2020 NFL Draft Big Board

The Patriots have a lot of needs and even more uncertainty as the off season grows near. Tom Brady is gone, McCourty and Slater resigned. Gostkowski was cut.The Patriots been signing special teamers but all three phases of the game are at risk. There is plenty of depth but the team needs starters. The Patriots could go after big names or the players considered the the top athletes in this draft or coronavirus willing, they could go after the best fits in the draft based on team needs.

I have heard people wanting top tier talent. People also want legacy players such as Jacob Eason or Thaddeus Moss. While Tony Eason and Randy Moss had their moment in the sun, are their kids on the same level? One thing is for certain, Bill Belichick is going to do him. That means nobody knows anything until it happens and then even that's not a guarantee.

The Patriots have no tight end core. Hightower is the only star linebacker. The defensive backfield is old. The middle of the defensive line is open. The offensive line needs depth to compete with Cajuste and Froholdt. The Patriots need a deep ball receiver, and nobody is kicking threes.

With that said, Here is my Patriots big board for the best fits in the 2020 draft and the draft network link. Yes, I finally ranked all 140 players. There are a lot of names people are going to be looking for, that you won't find. There were maybe 5 players not available on the site, That I wanted to add. If you want to know who they are, go back and read my earlier two blogs where I talked about 2020 offensive, defensive, and special team Prospects.

I started with Draft Network's ranking and then moved guys down if they were higher than the guy a head of them on my list. There were some last minute additions and thus they're much lower than on normal lists.Grade my board and give me some feedback, please.

1) Ross Blacklock IDL from TCU
