"So I think he's going to go a little bit higher than most patriots fans want them to take a running back, but Karen Williams from Notre-Dame is an awesome third down running back prospect, right? He's somebody that can pass protect and catch the football. Lands airlines come for him as Dion Lewis, right? So he's somebody that can really play that role in a high, high level. So maybe an end of the third round type of guy probably the top 100, maybe a little bit too early for the Patriots to take a running back, but Karen Williams from Notre-Dame. We can definitely play that James White role. He probably won. The one thing I would say to that is I think James cook is a very comparable player. He'll probably go 2025 pixel later. Right. And that's how the Patriots approach this, right? I think they'll look at that spot and say we could grab Williams now or we can realistically wait until our next pick get cooked. I just think they go that way. So the running back car is a staggered really weird. Yeah, or even like a CJ verdell later on in the draft. He's later, yeah, CJ riddell. And clusters and all that kind of stuff. This is where we get into that with Karen Williams. Let's talk about defense, more important than running back anyways. Defensive line. Can I get one more on the offense side of the ball? Real quick, yeah. I know you didn't want to do tight ends. Nope. But there's a guy named Connor Hayward at a Michigan state. He was a running back for two years converted to tight end. He's a big dude. He's 6 foot two 30. He's not quite a move fullback, but he's a full backpack and can give you a little something in the passing game. He's a really unique player. He was at the senior bowl. He's a guy who's going to be on the radar. He's a guy who kind of has that different. I think there could be, they're going to bring in at least one full back. I think from undrafted free agency to even if they resign Jakob Johnson, the one thing that we've watched them do in the last couple of years, Ben mason, and Vitale is potentially trying to get somebody that can catch some passes from that thought too and not just be a lead blocker. So this is Hayward. Again, 'cause he caught 30 passes when he moved to tight end this year. He also was among the team leaders in special teams tackles. He covers kicks. So he screams day three developmental patriots pick and I'm blanking on his first name again. I just said it's Connor right, yeah. Connor Hayward out of Michigan states a guy to watch..

"More of a receiving type back. And again, you're not expecting to hit with these picks here, but in Evans mock draft, he's only picking players. He thinks has a chance of making the team. So again, you're looking at life after James White. I don't think they've got it on the roster right now. So that is a that is an area you're going to need to replace at some point. Yes. So you look at the stuber from Michigan first. First of all, they hit a home run. We all think at least with Michael and Wendy from Michigan, right? Same program, same coaching staff. You grab another big, there's a tackle prospect on when you look at as an interior offensive line prospect. Stupor plays right tackle for Michigan. He's 6 four, 6, 5, 330 pounds. A big, big, big boy. Really move people off the line of scrimmage. That's the type of guy that in the past, you know, Trent Brown, Michael on we know these types of players. The patrons developed those guys pretty well. They do a good job now if Matt Patricia's coaching the offensive line, I'm not sure. It's going to be the same type of development, but they usually do pretty well with those big tackles with the big offensive lineman and getting their techniques sound enough in their foot speed sound enough with the hills and all that kind of stuff with their conditioning program to get something out of those guys. So I like steuber. I like CJ riddell. From Oregon. I think the one thing that you have to look at with the running back position is you got to start talking about the next James White. Who's the receiving back of the future? You know they have the early down back world covered with Damien Harris and reminders Stephenson. But who's the next guy to be on third down to be in the passing game? Videl really good lateral quickness, really good balance. It catches the ball, doesn't fight it. If somebody that looks like a natural in the receiving game, natural and space with the football on his hands, to me that's another one of those picks that you got to look down the road a year or two and say, okay, we need somebody that is going to be the next James White. I think CJ rodel's got that kind of potential might go a little bit earlier than the 7th round depending on how he works out here in the circuit. But I think that they might be able to get them there. All right, so that's mock draft one. When's the next one do?.
