Paris Johnson provides the blindside OT for whoever is taking snaps. Nick Broeker has experience as both LT and Guard. Combined with Steuber from the 2022 7th round, you've got some young blood at the position. I don't see Zay Flowers staying in the 2nd round, he is a riser who can play the game. Eli Ricks (CB) has experience in the SEC and provides size. The Iowa connection should make Sam LaPorta someone the Patriots get good intel on. Deuce Vaughn and Ainais Smith provide options in the offense. Scott and Horton fill roles further down the depth chart. We all know Max Duggan, his intangibles are off the chart.
