Three days out from the NFL draft, the Patriots’ big board is just about set.

So, too, is the Herald’s.

After months of reviewing prospects, here are 25 players who fit the new-era Patriots under director of scouting Eliot Wolf and head coach Jerod Mayo. The prospects are ranked in order of expected selection, and only those expected to be available to the Patriots at their current draft picks.

NFL Draft 2024: 10 potential Patriots offensive tackle draft picks

1st round (No. 3 overall pick)

1. Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

The best player in the draft, Harrison Jr. is the most unlikely prospect on this list to land in New England, but if there’s a non-quarterback draft at No. 3 overall, he would be most deserving.

2. North Carolina QB Drake Maye

Maye carries all of the tools and upside the Patriots should covet in a quarterback. He’s a modern playmaker who can win from the pocket, plays with toughness and can improve his accuracy by settling his footwork.

3. LSU QB Jayden Daniels

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is arguably the most accurate passer in the draft, and its most dangerous. Daniels’ scrambling speed generates all the headlines, but he can layer throws all over the field and fundamentally changes how defenses must defend him.

4. Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy, 21, only lost one start in college, but the Wolverines hardly counted on their QB. Still, McCarthy is athletic, not afraid to throw over the middle, adept on off-platform throws and maintains precise footwork when pressure is bearing down.

2nd round (No. 34 pick)

5. Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton

Primarily a right tackle in college, Guyton has the size and athleticism to make a switch to the blind side.

6. Georgia WR Ladd McConkey

McConkey has inside-outside versatility at wide receiver, and he was one of the best pre-draft testers in the entire 2024 class with a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, 6.72-second 3-cone drill and 3.97-second short shuttle.

7. Arizona OT Jordan Morgan

Considered a guard by some draft analysts because of his relatively short arms, Morgan started 37 college games at left tackle and has the athleticism to play on the outside in the NFL.

8. Oregon WR Troy Franklin

At 6-foot-2, 176 pounds, Franklin comes with concerns about his frame, but he’s a big-play threat who was a production demon in 2023, catching 81 passes for 1,383 yards with 14 touchdowns.

9. BYU OT Kingsley Suamataia

An athletic tackle prospect who’s played both sides, Suamataia is only 21 and took a pre-draft visit to New England. He’s also a former captain who plays with a violent punch and high effort.

10. Florida WR Ricky Pearsall

Arguably the best route-runner in this class, Pearsall shined at the Senior Bowl and ran a 4.4 at the combine. After serving as Florida’s No. 1 option in consecutive seasons, Pearsall could enter the league as a legitimate No. 2 or 3 as a rookie.

11. South Carolina WR Xavier Legette

One of the most explosive, dangerous weapons available on Day 2, Legette is nightmare in space; too strong to arm-tackle and too fast to catch when he’s built up speed. Some have loosely compared him to former South Carolina receiver Deebo Samuel, a friend.

12. Houston OT Patrick Paul

Long, athletic and experienced, Paul has some technique that needs to be cleaned up in the NFL but has ideal traits for a tackle.

13. Washington WR Ja’Lynn Polk

A big target who proved he could make big plays from out wide and in the slot, Polk has been a late riser in the draft process. Patriots wide receivers coach Tyler Hughes served as a quality control coach last season, so there’s already someone on staff who knows Polk well.

14. Washington OT Roger Rosengarten

Rosengarten started at right tackle at Washington, protecting lefty Michael Penix Jr.’s blindside. He does have experience on the left side and could be moved back in the NFL.

15. Notre Dame OT Blake Fisher

Fisher was a right tackle, playing across from top tackle prospect Joe Alt. He has great size and length but produced inconsistent play in college.

16. Yale OT Kiran Amegadjie

Raw but massive and athletic, Amegadjie might need to sit as a rookie. He has a high ceiling as a potential starting left tackle.

4th-5th round (No. 103, 137 picks)

17. UCF WR Javon Baker

Baker was one of the most explosive players in all of college football last season. An Alabama transfer, he’s both a deep-ball target and yards-after-catch threat.

18. TCU OT Brandon Coleman

Coleman is almost guaranteed to be on the Packers’ board, following their history of drafting versatile offensive linemen who tested like he did. Coleman toughed out multiple injuries at TCU, where he played left tackle and left guard.

19. Oregon CB Khyree Jackson

A 6-foot-3, man-to-man corner with ball skills, Jackson fits the Patriots’ prototype. He’s an Alabama transfer who left after getting suspended for reasons unknown, making him a Day 3 flier with high-pick upside.

20. TCU TE Jared Wiley

The former high school quarterback has the size, frame and run-blocking experience to play inline at the NFL level.

21. Houston Christian EDGE Jalyx Hunt

The Patriots reportedly hosted Hunt on one of their 30 pre-draft visits in Foxboro. He totaled 13.5 sacks over 21 games the past two years, which followed an earlier stint playing safety at Cornell.

22. Boston College CB Elijah Jones

Another physical, man-coverage corner, Jones led the ACC in interceptions last year despite missing several games due to injuries. His plus size and production should tempt the Patriots.

6th-7th round (No. 180, 193, 231 picks)

23. Arkansas CB Dwight McGlothern

The 6-foot-1, 189-pounder owns some of the best ball skills in the draft. He’s not an exceptional athlete, but McGlothern’s tape and physical play warrant a flier here.

24. Illinois TE Tip Reiman

Reiman is raw, but 6-foot-5, 271-pound tight ends who run a 4.64-second 40-yard dash are hard to find.

25. British Columbia OT Giovanni Manu

A developmental traits prospect, Manu is 6-foot-7 and 352 pounds and played left tackle and guard in college.
