21. Oklahoma – Geneo Grissom

Slowly but surely, Grissom came into his own as the 2015 season wore on and he was rewarded with a sack of Ryan Tannehill in Week 17.

20. Oregon – Patrick Chung, LeGarrette Blount

Chung has more than salvaged his career since re-joining the Patriots after a horrendous 2013 season with the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s good to see Blount back on the roster; otherwise, the Patriots wouldn’t have a powerful downhill runner to complement Dion Lewis and James White.

19. Pittsburgh – Dion Lewis, Jabaal Sheard

Speaking of Lewis… hopefully, that tragic torn ACL suffered against the Washington Redskins doesn’t alter the complexion of his exciting play. Look for Sheard to put up career numbers now that Chandler Jones is gone and he is the focal point of the Patriots’ defensive end group.

18. Purdue – Rob Ninkovich

The other focal point of the Patriots’ defensive end group and easily the hardest worker on the team (besides Danny Amendola).

Next: Rutgers, Sacremento State, Southern Mississippi
