Patriots' Board at 25 Ignores Their Biggest Need

New England's top need is defensive front, but nothing at pick 25 answers it. The house mock sends Duce Robinson, a tight end, while the model's actual board skews offense and secondary: Austin Siereveld sits 20th on the model, 49th in the room, and Xavier Scott's model-room gap balloons to 124 spots (26 vs. 150). Koi Perich adds another safety name to the mix. None of it touches the trenches — which means either the model's misreading this need, or the Patriots are punting on it again.
