Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
With the 31st pick in the ESPN NFL Nation mock draft, the New England Patriots select ...

Jack Westover signed his exclusive rights tender with the Patriots on Tuesday, per the transaction wire.
News story (via Dan Murphy): Mike Vrabel on “difficult conversations” regarding a “personal and private matter.”

The Patriots regained an international roster exemption for tackle Lorenz Metz on Tuesday. A futures signing in February after finishing the postseason on the practice squad.
IMO, if both KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston are available at 31 (unlikely, I know), but taking Boston would potentially stop them from needing AJ Brown, whereas taking Concepcion would keep that possibility more open and give the Pats an insane WR corps if they can pull off the trade.

CB Christian Gonzalez, who will soon have his fifth-year option picked up, is present for the first day of the voluntary offseason program.
The soft-spoken Gonzalez, who was named a game captain in the Super Bowl, has been working with Mike Vrabel on growing his leadership.
I expect the Patriots to redo A.J. Brown’s deal soon after a trade. What his new deal will look like really depends on his willingness to lower his four-year cash intake from $133M. His $33M in full guarantees will remain. What will be his 2026 cap number? Depends on how Pats feel about his knee.
While there’s always the possibility of movement up and down the board, here are 10 players who could be realistic options for the Patriots at the end of the first round.
Red Sox vs Tigers: Anthony LF, Contreras 1B, Abreu RF, Yoshida DH, Story SS, Duran CF, Durbin 3B, Mayer 2B, Narváez C, Gray P
The Patriots remain at the clear forefront of trade talks for AJ Brown, another team could always emerge, and there's a lot of time between now and June 1. But as of today, multiple sources believe Brown and the Patriots are likely to become a tandem.

My 10 favorite draft prospects for the #Patriots in the 5th round of the 2026 #NFLDraft

New Bengals DT Dexter Lawrence got the trade he wanted -- and his total pay over the next two years moves from $39.5 million to $47 million.
The other players with at least 62 AV in their first 7 seasons at #10 in the common draft era:
Patrick Mahomes (2017)
Terrell Suggs (2003)
Chris McAlister (1999)
Jerome Bettis (1993)
Herman Moore (1991)
Rod Woodson (1987)
Al Toon (1985)
Marcus Allen (1982)
Jeff Siemon (1972)
Isiah Robertson (1971)
Dexter Lawrence produced more Approximate Value in his first seven seasons than 81.1% of #10 picks; the odds that he'll be better than whoever the Giants draft is very high.
...the odds that he'll be more ~expensive~ than whoever the Giants draft is even higher, of course.
