"Mesidor is one of the most fascinating prospects in this draft. He's 25 years old, but is also one of the best pure pass rushers available, evidenced by his ACC-best 12.5 sacks last season."
"For New England, pairing him with Dre'Mont Jones on the front, which also includes Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, is a juicy thought."
"While trading up seven spots wouldn't be cheap, it would provide the Patriots with a star off the edge."
The Patriots are likely to use their first-round draft pick on a pass rusher due to defensive weaknesses. Trading up to select Akheem Mesidor, a top EDGE defender, is a viable option. Mesidor recorded 13 sacks in the 2025 season, making him a strong candidate for the Patriots. A proposed trade with the Browns to move up to No. 24 could secure Mesidor, who is considered one of the best pure pass rushers available. This move would enhance the Patriots' defensive lineup significantly.
