2019 NFL mock draft: Jaguars land Justin Herbert

The New England Patriots went into Heinz Field to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this past Sunday fresh off one of the more shocking upsets of the NFL season the week before. New England was beaten by the Miami Dolphins on a last-second trick play, and maybe they were still hung over from it heading into the big matchup with the Steelers.

New England just looked lost on offense against Pittsburgh, as Tom Brady finally looked human against the Steelers for the first time in forever. In fact, when it was winning time late in the game, he looked very pedestrian, and you have to believe all the haters are thinking this is the end of the line for the Brady-Bill Belichick run in New England.

While that may be the case, the fact is, they are still one of the best teams in the AFC, and should be one of the last teams standing this Winter. When they do pick next April, it will likely be late in round one, and they should look to bolster their interior of the defensive line with the selection.

During his time at Clemson, Christian Wilkins has become one of the best defensive tackles in college football, and is a big reason why they have been a mainstay in the College Football Playoff. He figures to be a late-first, early-second round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and the Patriots may want to grab him with their selection towards the end of round one.
