Patriots create chaos with two first-round picks in 7-round mock draft

In this mock draft, Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter wasn’t available at No. 4, and the Patriots decided to swing a blockbuster trade for Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett instead.

Garrett is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL, and he’d be a major difference-maker along the defensive front for the Patriots. His presence would open things up for other playmakers and significantly improve the pressure rate against opposing quarterbacks.

I know Browns fans are hoping for multiple first-round picks, but they could be disappointed in a hypothetical trade. Garrett is an elite playmaker at a premium position, but he is also 29 years old with two years on his existing contract.

Getting the No. 4 overall pick from the Patriots would ensure the Browns have two picks in the top-four to restock their roster with at least two high-end draft prospects.

Patriots get: DE Myles Garrett

Browns get: 2025 first-round pick (No. 4)
