Ronnie Perkins Fantasy

The New England Patriots selected Oklahoma edge rusher Ronnie Perkins with the No. 96 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Perkins could be a big steal of the third round with the compensatory pick that New England received from losing Tom Brady in free agency last year. He profiles as a power rusher with a high motor and a good first step off the snap. He's an old-school stand-up rusher that should eventually force his way into the starting lineup at some point in 2021. The 6-foot-3, 247-pounder has a nice speed/power combination that head coach Bill Belichick will surely enjoy coaching up.
