Why the New England Patriots should target Joshua DT Paschal, Kentucky

Bill Belichick loves Deatrich Wise Jr. Some might not fully understand why, but the Hoodie does. You know what Belichick would love more than Wise Jr?

Two Deatrich Wise Jrs. That’s what Joshua Paschal would be.

Don’t be concerned about 40 times with Paschal. And don’t expect a lot of sacks from him either. His career high is five, which he set last season. But he amassed 15 tackles for a loss for the Razorbacks. Basically, Joshua Paschal is a human stop sign.

Paschal can play end in a 4-3 and 3-4. If you want to slide Paschal inside to tackle, he can do that too. Line him up wherever you want, because wherever Joshua goes, the ball won’t go past him.

Paschal would be another high character addition to the team that would live the Patriot Way from day one. And he’s a cancer survivor. How can you not root for this guy? Paschal could be available in the third round.
