Patriots Draft Gabe Jacas, Eli Raridon, Shake Up Roster

0:00On April 25th, the New England Patriots made two key moves on day two of the NFL draft. They traded up to grab edge rusher Gabe Jockas and then picked tight end Eli Raritan in round three. These additions give the offense more options with Raritan's size and speed, fitting right into Josh McDaniel's schemes and pairing well with quarterback Drake May down the line. Coaches are loving it too, especially outside linebackers Coach Mike Smith, who built a strong bond with Jockas during his visit and now has another explosive pass rusher for the group. On the flip side, it spells trouble for some current players. Last year's fifth round edge, Brady Swenson faces stiffer competition behind the vets and this new rotation guy putting his roster spot at risk, tied in CJ. Dipper drops the fourth on the depth chart after free agency ads and this draft pick and with a full back in the mix, that might not even make the final 53 man's squad. Dept charts are shifting fast this off season.
