The Patriots have needs and there are plenty of prospect available. I had originally had approximately 130 prospects without linebackers. Around 10 of the original 130 went back to school so I removed them and added linebackers.
Each name is linked to a report, usually the draft network with three bonus reports if possible and I tried to keep them no older then December. A few prospects had little information to share. I am also including rankings from three sites. Warning there are prospects from outside the first two rounds.
*Don't be surprised if the Patriots trade back to the 25th or 26th pick for a first, second and fourth round this year. If you follow the point system, that's what the 14th pick is worth.
Defensive Linemen Prospects
The Patriots still need a pocket disrupting defensive tackle that can stop the run to pair with the pass rusher Barmore.

Quarterback Prospects
After getting down to just Zappe at one point last season, the Patriots need a practice squad backup. Keep an eye on Will Rogers from Mississippi State in 2024. He's a Pats quarterback that went back to school.

Special Teams Prospects
Folks old, Bailey's gone and Cardona's career has lasted longer than the average for his position. And then keep in mind Slater is a year to year with his retirement. I'm not adding gunners but if any of the players on this list have special teams experience, their value increases.

I recommend the Draft Network and Steelers Depot as two good scouting sources. There are some other ones I use but their consistency just doesn't add up. It's sad for me to say but as a Pats fan, Steelers media does a better job at scouting draft prospects as I might have used one Pats media source.
