The initial wave of free agency is over, and the Patriots are far from finished filling needs across their roster.

The Patriots did seemingly fix their defense in the first week of free agency by signing defensive tackle Milton Williams, cornerback Carlton Davis, linebacker Robert Spillane, edge defenders Harold Landry and K’Lavon Chaisson, defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga and safety Marcus Epps, but they weren’t as successful filling gaps on offense, signing offensive tackle Morgan Moses, wide receiver Mack Hollins, quarterback Joshua Dobbs and offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer.

They also opened up a need at center by releasing David Andrews.

Unless the Patriots are able to add starting-caliber players at wide receiver, offensive tackle and center before late April, they’ll likely need to draft for need to fill out the offense.

Let’s take an offense-heavy approach in our post-free agency mock draft.

Round 1, Pick 4: WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado

Drafting LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell here would best fill the glaring need at left tackle. But if two quarterbacks go off the board in the top three picks, that means the Patriots would be able to select Hunter or Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter with the fourth pick.

Taking Campbell over Hunter or Carter would seemingly be a major reach, and the Patriots would be smart to take the best player available here rather than reach to fill a need. Another option would be to trade down, acquire more picks and still grab Campbell.

With Davis and Christian Gonzalez at cornerback, the Patriots can still fill a need by drafting Hunter and having him focus most of his attention on offense as a wide receiver. Hunter is regarded as the best cornerback and best wide receiver in the draft. The Patriots could still use Hunter as a cornerback in certain key situations to provide a boost on defense, as well.

Round 2, Pick 38: OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota

The Patriots are basically locked into taking an offensive tackle in the second round if they draft Hunter in the first round. Ersery and Oregon’s Josh Conerly currently seem like the best fits at the top of the second round.

Ersery did a solid job slowing down Carter when Minnesota played Penn State last season. He’s a good athlete at 6-foot-6, 331 pounds and just passes the length threshold for a tackle with 33 1/8-inch arms.

Ersery would be the favorite to start at left tackle over Vederian Lowe and Caedan Wallace with Moses locked in at right tackle.

Round 3, Pick 69: C Jared Wilson, Georgia

If they absolutely need to, the Patriots could get by at center with either Ben Brown or Cole Strange. Another option is to add Garrett Bradbury from the Vikings.

Or they can slightly reach for Wilson and replace one Georgia center in Andrews with another in Wilson.

Wilson is a phenomenal athlete. He ran a 4.84-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 310 pounds.

Round 3, Pick 77: WR Jalen Royals, Utah State

Royals impressed at the combine with a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at 6 feet, 205 pounds. He averaged nearly 120 receiving yards per game before his 2024 season was shortened due to a foot injury. He shined in 2023 with 71 catches for 1,080 yards with 15 touchdowns.

Round 4, Pick 106: RB Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech

The Patriots need a back with some speed behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. Tuten has breakaway burners, clocking a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at 5-foot-9, 206 pounds. Of his 1,159 rushing yards, 54% came on 15-plus-yard carries.

He also added 4.4 yards after contact per rushing attempt.

Round 5, Pick 144: OT Hollin Pierce, Rutgers

Josh McDaniels had success with mountainous offensive tackles like Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer and Trent Brown.

Pierce is 6-foot-8, 341 pounds with 36-inch arms. You draft him for his traits and see if he can develop.

Round 7, Pick 217: LB Shaun Dolac, Buffalo

A combine snub, Dolac was the most productive linebacker in the FBS last season. He then impressed at his pro day with a 4.55-second 40-yard dash at 6 feet, 223 pounds.

He’s undersized and comes from a small school, but Dolac registered 168 tackles with five interceptions, 19 tackles for loss and five pass breakups last season.

Round 7, Pick 220: DT Yahya Black, Iowa

Another massive prospect, Black is 6-foot-6, 336 pounds with 35-inch arms. The Patriots need depth on the defensive line even after signing Williams and Tonga.

Round 7, Pick 238: CB BJ Adams, UCF

Adams is worth a late-round flier as a 6-foot-2, 182-pound cornerback. The Patriots should take swings on bigger late-round cornerbacks. At worst, he can contribute on special teams.
