Patriots urged to shock the world and draft Ashton Jeanty at No. 4

As the New England Patriots prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft, as they have the No. 4 overall pick, the team is going to, no doubt, get an elite prospect. While some believe the Patriots should go offensive line to further protect quarterback Drake Maye, one draft expert believes they should take star running back Ashton Jeanty out of Boise State Ashton Jeanty.

There's no doubt that Jeanty is arguably a top-five player in the draft, which is the case that NFL Network Chad Reuter argues in his latest mock as to why New England should select the Boise State running back.

“In this scenario, the Patriots take the best player on the board and meet their need at offensive tackle with picks in the second and fourth rounds,” Reuter wrote. “New head coach Mike Vrabel knows the value that a premier back can bring, having watched Derrick Henry carry his previous Titans teams to the playoffs. While Jeanty's not as big as Henry, he has considerable power through contact and the burst to create explosive plays in the run game.”
