4th round pick - 103rd pick
Khyree Jackson - CB, Oregon
Why shouldn’t the Patriots draft the guy who followed in Christian Gonzalez's footsteps at Oregon? They didn't actually play in the same team for the Ducks. Jackson transferred to the Pacific Northwest after spending two seasons in Alabama. Jackson's move occurred after Nick Saban suspended him for an unspecified reason.

Jackson is 6 feet 3 inches tall and has run a 4.44-second 40-yard dash. That’s the same time Derek Stingley ran at the combine. In 12 games, Jackson made 34 tackles, five tackles for a loss, and two sacks. He also had three interceptions. But after the suspension, he is projected to go in the 4th round.
5th round – 135th pick
Theo Johnson - TE, Penn State
Another Penn State product, Theo Johnson, is the perfect Hunter Henry replacement. He’s just a bit bigger. And he’s so powerful when he blocks and possesses the ball. There’s no way he should go in the 5th round, but that doesn’t mean he won’t.
Go off then, @theo_Johnson_.

The tight end made moves for a 25-yard reception, giving Penn State good field position at the end of the first quarter.
