Patriots' Draft Pick: Blake Miller, Future Tackle Star

It's March 19th for the NFL, let's get into it.

The New England Patriots hold the 31st overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

They are eyeing a replacement for Wright Tackle Morgan Moses, who is nearing the end of

his career.

Analysts see this as a smart move to build long-term depth on the offensive line.

The team plans to keep Will Campbell at left Tackle and shift to Jared Wilson to center.

Alisa Vera Tucker should start at left guard, while Mike Onwinu holds down Wright guard.

This setup leaves room to groom a young Tackle without immediate pressure.

Yahoo Sports predictor Charles McDonald expects the Patriots to grab Clemson Tackle Blake

Miller at number 31.

He points out the offense still lacks elite talent to match top defenses, especially a

friend.

A high pick like this could kick start improvements.

Miller brings serious experience with 54 college starts, all as a starter over four years

at Clemson.

He set a school record for plays from Scrimmage, and earned first team all ACC honors the

last two seasons.

As six foot seven and three hundred and seventeen pounds, he topped offensive tackles in athleticism

at the combine.

NFL analyst Lance Zerlin calls him an iron man with quick feet in a finishes drive.

Miller needs work on hand placement and pad level, but a year behind Moses could polish

him into a reliable starter.

This pick fits the Patriots patient rebuild.
