PICK: Eddie Goldman, DT, FSU
LAST UPDATED: April 9, 2015
KIPER'S ANALYSIS:
"The defensive line isn't the same without Vince Wilfork. The secondary isn't the same without Darrelle Revis. But while Revis is still in his prime and can't possibly be replaced in the short term via the draft, a player like Goldman has the opportunity to more closely replicate the kind of run-stuffing ability Wilfork gave Bill Belichick for so many years. He's not going to be winning with quickness and chasing quarterbacks around, but Goldman can eat up blocks and hold the point and help the Patriots keep opposing offenses from assuming they can line up and overpower the Patriots in the run game. He's also a really good value at this point." Â Click here to check out Mel Kiper's full mock draft.

MCSHAY'S ANALYSIS:
"Cornerback is the Patriots' top need after the losses of 2014 starters Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. Based on game tape alone, Peters might have been the top cornerback prospect in this class, but his behavioral issues at UW -- including his eventual dismissal from the program -- have hurt his stock. He has all the tools to be a good NFL cornerback, including size, strength, athleticism and playmaking instincts. Linebacker and defensive tackle are other needs the Pats could look to address early in the 2015 draft." Â Click here to check out Todd McShay's full mock draft.

RANG'S ANALYSIS:
"Don't be surprised if the Patriots trade out of this pick, as teams will want to take advantage of the five-year contract options allowed to first round picks, making the No. 32 overall selection much more valuable than No. 33. If standing pat, Goldman's size and strength could make him an ideal replacement for longtime nose guard Vince Wilfork." Â Click here to see Rob Rang's full mock draft.

PICK: Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke
LAST UPDATED:Â April 30, 2015Â
BRUGLER'S ANALYSIS:
"When asked to block in a square, Tomlinson can be dominant and with the needs the Patriots have on the interior offensive line, this marriage is possible." Â Click here to view Dane Brugler's full mock draft.

KIRWAN'S ANALYSIS:
"Trading out is a possibility, especially if someone wants to get a QB like Hundley before the first round ends. Last year Minnesota jumped into spot No. 32 for Teddy Bridgewater and Bill Belichick likes moving into the second round, especially if he has multiple players left on the board."

DAVIS'S ANALYSIS:
"Typically, the Pats go big here (if they don't trade back), but offense would love a WR who can really stretch the field. Safety might be a possibility, too (Landon Collins or Damarious Randall)." Â Click here to view Charles Davis's full mock draft.

PICK: Randy Gregory, OLB, Nebraska
LAST UPDATED:Â April 29, 2015Â
MAYOCK'S ANALYSIS:
"Gregory is another boom-or-bust prospect. He has top-10 talent and is really intriguing. Will Bill Belichick consider selecting Gregory? Teams are always looking for edge rushers, and the Patriots have a great locker room environment to develop that talent. Amazing thing is, Gregory's very smart. If he can get his head wrapped around straight, he can be a Pro Bowler."  Click here to view Mike Mayock's full mock draft.
