Jeglertz not worried by Man City title wobble - should he be?
Man City stumbles in WSL title race with loss to Brighton
The New England Patriots are targeting players to fill key needs in the NFL Draft, with their first Day 3 pick at No. 171. Prospects include versatile RB/WR Eli Heidenreich and DT Landon Robinson from Navy.
**5-171: RB/WR Eli Heidenreich (Navy | No. 201):** It’s possible that Heidenreich doesn’t fall this far, and the Patriots might have to move up to get him, but the consensus still has him down here, so I’m sticking with this pick. The testing metrics are off the charts, as the raw testing numbers are almost identical to Christian McCaffrey’s. That is a ridiculous comparison, of course, but I nonetheless love the upside and versatility that Heidenreich brings, and he could become the Patriots’ third down back of the future. I would be very excited about this pick, and I think that fans would quickly fall in love with this kid.
The Patriots are considering players like RB/WR Eli Heidenreich and DT Landon Robinson among others for their Day 3 picks.
Eli Heidenreich is a versatile RB/WR whose impressive testing metrics and potential as a third down back make him an attractive pick for the Patriots.
Landon Robinson is a pass-rushing defensive tackle who fits the Patriots' defensive scheme and has shown consistent ability to disrupt plays.
The Patriots aimed to address their three biggest needs with their top picks, focusing on enhancing their roster depth and versatility.

**6-191: DT Landon Robinson (Navy | No. 215):** There’s no hiding it, I love Robinson, and no, I don’t care that I am doing back-to-back Navy picks. I wrote the draft profile for him for Pats Pulpit, and I think he should be available for the Patriots here. While Gabe Jacas is a very good run stopping edge who shows some pass rush upside, Robinson is a pass rushing defensive tackle. He has shown a consistent ability to beat blockers and get into the backfield and that fits what the Patriots want to do perfectly. He should be a very good complement to the likes of Dre’Mont Jones, Hunter Henry and Jacas on the edge. **6-198: P Jack Stonehouse (Syracuse | N/A):** The Patriots might be in the market for a punter, and I think Stonehouse and Brett Thorson from Georgia are the two best in the draft. I chose Stonehouse here because of his past relationship with Jeremy Springer, and because he’s a good amount younger. It isn’t flashy, but the Patriots were willing to spend draft capital on a long snapper and kicker last year, so we know how much special teams matters to them. Based on how Bryce Baringer punted, especially in the playoffs, I think it might be time for a change, and Stonehouse at least offers some competition. **6-212: LB Justin Jefferson (Alabama | No. 198):** The Patriots get the steal of the draft in the sixth round, and change their receiver room to one of the best in football overnigh…. Just kidding, of course, this Justin Jefferson is a linebacker who brings a toughness and athleticism to the position that the Patriots are going to love. He’s undersized, but he plays like his hair is on fire. He also provides special teams upside, which is a must for Day 3 linebackers. Even if he doesn’t pan out at his listed position, at least there is a path to him onto the field. He’s a project but as a a modern day linebacker could be what the Patriots are looking for.
**7-247: ED Keyshawn James-Newby (New Mexico | No. N/A):**James-Newby is almost the polar opposite of Gabe Jacas. He is a speed rusher who didn’t really flash until his final two seasons in college football, both spent at small schools; he racked up 29.5 sacks and 19.5 TFL’s in the last two years combined at Idaho and New Mexico. He doesn’t have a ton of power, but the speed he brings off the edge is going to be a problem for tackles. He has a chance to make the team as a special teams guy, and could turn into a pass rushing specialist. The Patriots hit on Elijah Ponder in a similar situation as an undrafted free agent last year, and I like trying to do the same with James-Newby.
As a bonus, I am going to include some UDFAs that I think the Patriots might target should they become available:
