The Patriots select Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor with the No. 37 overall pick in this 2020 NFL redraft.
Jonathan Taylor is a player that the New England Patriots had a chance to build around in 2020. Taylor is not a free agent or on the trade block this offseason. However, the Patriots had another avenue to add the former First-Team All-Pro running back in 2020.
