In the 2015 NFL draft, the New England Patriots picked safety, Jordan Richards' 64th overall.

Looking back, wide receiver Tyler Lockett looks like the pick they should have made instead.

Richards, a Stanford standout, suited up for the pass from 2015 to 2017 and returned

briefly in 2019.

His contributions included just two forced fumbles and three passes defended.

It went to the Seattle Seahawks five spots later at 69th overall.

The Kansas State alum quickly proved his worth as both a receiver and return specialist.

Over four straight seasons from 2019 to 2022, Lockett topped 1,000 receiving yards each

year.

He earned first team all pro honors as a rookie kick returner and picked up second team

nods the next two years.

Fans and analysts now see this as a classic draft, what if for New England, especially

with Lockett still shining as an unrestricted free agent option?
