Cat Crave Mock Draft 1.0
By Josh Adler
A: Nix is the best defensive tackle in the draft and if he falls this far the Patriots will not hesitate to draft him. They could definitely use another receiver to help Tom Brady, but this is a more reliable pick. Nix can help add depth to the defensive line rotation that lost star lineman Vince Wilfork to injury last season. These two together could disrupt the pocket and stuff most run games. The Patriots have not won a Superbowl without a top 10 defensive unit and will look to strengthen that side of the ball in the first round.
