Patriots Predicted to Draft Brazzell at No. 31

The New England Patriots are predicted to select Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II with their No. 31 pick in the NFL Draft, following Stefon Diggs' impending release.

According to Patriots writer Chad Graff, Brazzell's impressive combine performance, including a 4.37-second 40-yard dash, makes him an ideal fit for New England. At 6'4", the outside receiver excels at winning downfield, which could complement Drake Maye's deep passing abilities.

Brazzell, who played 40 career games at Tulane and Tennessee, recorded 136 receptions for 2,072 yards and 16 touchdowns, making him a valuable addition to the Patriots' offense following Diggs' departure.
