What's up everybody? Welcome into the next Pats podcast. I'm Phil Perry, really fun episode for you this week. We've got Albert Breer from

Sports Illustrated, who we love, love, love bringing in this time of year. So he can empty the

notebook on us as far as the draft is concerned. So we're taking a big picture view at this

year's class, the talent in this year's class. How likely is it that the Patriots are actually

able to trade back is going to be more

difficult for them than maybe we've anticipated. I know I have mocked the Patriots

trading back in the first round, adding some extra picks in the middle rounds, and then making

their selection late in the first. I've seen other mocks where the Patriots trade completely out of the first round entirely,

and even those make some sense.

But will that be tough for them to do this year?

Breer answers that for us.

He also gives us a few names that we need to keep an eye on from a Patriots perspective

based on some of his reporting.

Always fascinating there.

I remember a couple of years ago.

Now this pick didn't work out great for the Patriots, no question.

But Albert's reporting extremely solid when he told us, keep an eye out for a guy named

Joanne Williams from Vanderbilt because the Patriots, I think they've got some real

interest in that guy.

So when he gives us a name, we have to pay attention.

So he gives us a couple that could be available to the Patriots in the first round this year at number 21 overall.

We are also talking to one of my favorite under the radar prospects in this year's draft class.
