Patriots Snag Elite Edge Rusher Gabe Jacas

0:00On April 25th, Patriots needed an edd rusher bad, and they jumped on it early in the draft. In the second round, they traded up to Snag Illinois standout, Gabe Jockus, adding serious talent to their defensive line right away. Elliott Wolf, their exec VP of Player Personnel, called it a shocker that Jockus was still on the board. He was the top guy on their list at a key needs spot, so they made calls and worked a deal with the chargers to move up and grab him before anyone else. Could, the whole coaching staff lit up over this pick, Wolf said they were straight ecstatic. No surprise since Jockus fits perfect with what they're building on defense. This sets Jockus up nice in New England, where he can grind and grow into an elite defender under solid guidance. Patriots fans keep eyes on this one. I could reshape their past rush for years.
