Who are the Patriots projected to take in the latest NFL Mock Draft?
Much has been made about the possibility of the Patriots trading up into the top five of the NFL Draft order to select Fields.
But in Phil Perry’s latest mock draft, the Patriots trade up to No. 13 pick and address the wide receiver position in the first round, taking Alabama's Jaylen Waddle.
Adding one of the draft’s top wideouts completes Bill Belichick's overhaul of the position this offseason that already included the additions of Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.
