With the No. 4 overall pick, Reuter threw a curveball that might raise some eyebrows—but in a good way. He had the Patriots selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, a Heisman runner-up who hadn’t been heavily linked to New England until recently.

What that board will look like is, of course, a closely-guarded secret. Based on the Patriots’ pre-draft interest, however, it seems likely that there are plenty of defensive linemen on it.
