Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham, an extremely popular pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars in mock drafts, is reportedly taking a pre-draft visit with the New England Patriots, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
The Patriots, of course, hold the fourth overall pick in the draft--one spot ahead of the Jaguars.
During the pre-draft process, each team is able to have 30 prospects at the team facility for an official visit. Graham counts towards one of those visits for the Patriots.
This by no means guarantees that the Patriots are going to take Graham with the fourth overall pick, but it's noteworthy because there is a level of interest there.
For what it's worth, in a lot of mock drafts that are out there, the Patriots are taking an offensive tackle, often Will Campbell, with the fourth overall pick.
If the Patriots were to take Graham, however, it would potentially create an interesting scenario for the Jaguars. Would that mean that Travis Hunter would be available? Or would this instance make it more likely that the Jaguars would trade down from the fifth overall pick?
It's easy to see why Graham is such a popular selection for the Jaguars in mock drafts. It is a big position of need for the Jaguars, and in what is a deep defensive tackle class, Graham is considered the top prospect at that position group.
