"The Patriots chose to trade up to get a presumed future right tackle, do the same thing in the second round for a pass rusher, and managed to get a top tight end prospect with their third round selection."
"Lang was already considered an outside before the draft, with the additions of Julian Hill and fullback Reggie Gilliam in free agency."
"The silver lining for the young player is that he was cut early enough in the offseason to have a decent chance of being picked up by another team."
The New England Patriots did not have a top-10 draft pick for the first time in three years, allowing them to trade up for key positions. They selected a future right tackle, a pass rusher, and a top tight end prospect. This created pressure on returning players, leading to the early cut of tight end Marshall Lang. The team is expected to make more roster changes, prioritizing new draft picks over players like Lang, who was already on the roster bubble before the draft.
