Drafter Comments

"The Patriots are notorious at drafting wideouts, but here's to hoping Mitchell is the exception. With the Patriots wide receiver depth lacking behind Julian Edelman, Mitchell could find some immediate value as an outside wide receiver from day one for the Pats." -- Blair Ames

"I adore Mitchell's athleticism, and New England needs help on the outside. It's notoriously tough to learn the Pats' playbook, so it may take some time for him to make an impact. His versatility should make him a good fit in New England in the long term." - Austan Kas

"People are always skeptical of a rookie's ability to make an impact in New England, but Mitchell seems like the best bet to do it. He's a smart and experienced player, and the Patriots could need him early on if Julian Edelman is still dealing with foot issues come the season." -- Anthony Amico
