Patriots Predicted To Add 2,218-Yard WR To Team Up With Romeo Doubs originally appeared on NESN . Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New England Patriots might be looking to add another standout wide receiver to their roster after signing Romeo Doubs from the Green Bay Packers in free agency.
If the Patriots are looking to add a receiver, they might consider going through the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft instead of trading for or signing another player. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has an idea for New England.
Kiper released a mock draft on Tuesday, predicting that the Patriots will select Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion with the 31st pick. "The Patriots signed receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal worth up to $80 million to replace Stefon Diggs, who was released this month," Kiper wrote. "I like the signing a lot, but I'm not sure it fully checks the wide receiver box for New England.
"Concepcion averaged 15. 1 yards per catch last season, and he'd stretch the field for quarterback Drake Maye. But don't sleep on his ability to also turn quick routes into big gains.
