Patriots Predicted to Draft WR at No. 31

Chris Brazzell II is a 6'4" outside receiver who impressed at the NFL Combine with a 4.37-second 40-yard dash. According to The Athletic's Chad Graff, this makes him a perfect fit for New England's offense, especially considering Drake Maye's strong deep ball capabilities.

The Patriots plan to release Stefon Diggs on March 11, creating a need at the wide receiver position. Brazzell played 40 career college games, recording 136 receptions for 2,072 yards and 16 touchdowns. His ability to win downfield could provide a significant boost to New England's passing game.
