Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 47. WR. USC. DrakeLondon. 22. player

Miami and New England are set for a collision course in week 18 that could keep one of the two teams out of the playoffs or see both teams in. But it’s inevitable if the Dolphins are able to upset the Tennessee Titans.

After all the rumors expected them to move up and select a quarterback in the top end of the draft, the New England Patriots held their ground and selected Mac Jones out of Alabama. Clearly, it has worked out quite well.

Behind a dominant defense and a strong run game, the Patriots have found themselves in a position to make the playoffs in the team’s second season without Tom Brady. The team, however, is missing a key piece to its offense in a dominant wideout.

The Patriots signed Nelson Aghlor, Kendrick Bourne. Hunter Henry, and Jonnu Smith over the offseason, but outside of a few games none of them have been able to distinguish themselves.

Taking Drake London out of USC would be a huge boost to the team’s wideout group. The PAC-12 player of the year will be coming off a torn ACL, but he should still be the dynamic playmaker that the Patriots are missing.
