Patriots Mock Draft: McDonald or Trade for Brown?

NFL Story is making news on March 18th.

NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah recently shared a mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft projecting

the New England Patriots to grab Ohio State.

Defensive tackle, Kaden McDonald with their 31st overall pick.

McDonald, a 21-year-old standout, wrapped up three seasons with the buckais, playing in

34 games.

He nashed 11 tackles for loss in 3-sacks, stepping up as a full-time starter in his final

year after rotational roles earlier.

This pick could bolster the Patriot's defensive front, pairing McDonald's run-stopping

skills with Milton Williams to create a strong interior duo.

Jeremiah sees him as a gritty player who handles the tough assignments up front.

Patriot's fans are buzzing about defensive upgrades, especially after recent line struggles.

McDonald offers long-term growth potential alongside veterans like Williams.

That said, New England might not even hold that first round spot.

Rumors swirl they could trade it for Philadelphia Eagles-wide receiver AJJ.

Brown, shifting focus to offense instead.
