New England Patriots four-round 2021 NFL mock draft
Round 4, 112th Overall
Reed Blankenship is a rangy safety prospect who shows impressive playmaking ability on the backend. He covers a lot of ground as a deep safety and has a knack for making plays on the ball.
Blankenship is best used as a deep zone coverage safety, but he is a solid tackler in space and can aggressively come up and offer support against the run. This guy is a well-rounded safety prospect whose versatility would undoubtedly fit well in New England.
Round 4, 134th Overall
Kadarius Toney is a quick and explosive wide receiver prospect who has always been a weapon with the ball in his hands. He has significantly improved his route-running ability this season, allowing Florida to get him much more involved in the offense.
This prospect is growing into a more well-rounded wide receiver who can really grow into a strong option out of the slot at the next level. The New England Patriots love to utilize their slot receivers and Toney has exciting upside at the position. Plus, it couldn’t hurt to add another offensive playmaker to the mix.
Round 4, 140th Overall
Mohamed Ibrahim is an under-the-radar running back prospect who would be a nice target for any team on the third day of the 2021 NFL Draft. Ibrahim has an impressive combination of short-area quickness and power that needs to be taken seriously.
He is not the kind of guy who is going to consistently break off big runs, but he can pick up the tough yards on the inside and does a great job of maintaining his balance through the run. The New England Patriots could certainly use a guy like Ibrahim to help take their rushing attack to the next level.
