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

0:21.0

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

0:26.2

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

0:31.7

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

0:36.5

able to trade back is going to be more

0:38.7

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

0:43.9

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

0:49.2

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

0:56.7

and even those make some sense.

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

Breer answers that for us.

1:05.0

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

1:11.2

Always fascinating there.

1:12.4

I remember a couple of years ago.

1:13.7

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

1:17.1

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

1:22.1

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

1:27.1

interest in that guy.

1:28.7

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

1:31.9

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

1:39.1

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