As a result, the Silver and Black will use their new pick to select Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas needs a quarterback of the future behind Geno Smith, and the team notably has former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as a part owner of the team.<\/p>\n<p>New England, meanwhile, would select Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou. Membou impressed at the NFL Combine with a 4.91-second 40-yard dash, a 34-inch vertical jump, and a 9-foot-7 broad jump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What an ideal scenario for the Pats, courtesy of their old friend Tom Brady,&#8221; Helman wrote. &#8220;By trading with Las Vegas, they gain another pick or two without losing their target &#8211; a franchise tackle for Drake Maye. With a crazy combination of frame and athleticism, Membou fits the bill. He&#8217;s also just now turning 21 years old.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New England has urgent needs on the offensive line after quarterbacks took 52 sacks last season &#8211; 34 against Maye and 18 against former backup Jacoby Brissett. The Patriots have officially added offensive tackle Morgan Moses thus far in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Membou would add size and strength at 6-foot-3, 325 pounds to the Patriots&#8217; offensive line. He&#8217;s also durable amid 35 games in three collegiate seasons at Mizzou.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the New England Patriots have no need at quarterback with promising second-year starter Drake Maye, a trade involving Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders could benefit Maye and&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
