What's up, everybody?

0:11.1

Welcome into the NextBats podcast.

0:12.5

I'm Phil Perry.

It is a Caleb Williams week here on NextBats and on NBCSportsBoston.com because we are going to have our next edition of our

0:24.1

mock draft series coming at you online this week. And this week, what do the Patriots do?

0:29.9

They're trading up to number one overall from number three to draft the presumed top choice

and pick number 68 overall, the Patriots first, second, and third round picks.

1:37.8

You'd be sending those to Chicago for their number one overall choice for the right to draft

1:42.8
