New England Patriots - NESN.com
The Patriots will have plenty of things to address this offseason, but one of their sneakier needs comes in a spot where they already have a blue-chip talent.
Who can be paired with Christian Gonzalez?
Keagan Stiefel (your author) joined George Balekji and Travis Thomas on NESN’s “Foxboro Rush” podcast on Wednesday to discuss cornerback prospects that could be targeted by New England. It’s another conversation surrounding the draft, which we’ll continue to have throughout the season.
Stiefel, Balekji and Thomas discussed Colorado’s Travis Hunter, Alabama’s Domani Jackson, Georgia’s Daylen Everette and Kentucky’s Maxwell Hairston, but the conversation ultimately came down to how big of a need the cornerback position was.
Hunter, specifically, was an interesting case, as he provides value on both sides of the ball. Do you want him as a cornerback or a wide receiver, though? Stiefel posed that question to Balekji and Thomas, and got two very different answers.
