What to expect on the last day.

The Patriots enter the final day of the NFL draft with six selections -- Nos. 159, 195, 204, 212, 213 and 230 -- and it's not unrealistic to expect some movement among those, although it would probably take all of the seventh-rounders to get higher.

I'm one of the few that believes they won't pursue a quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer will probably be joined by a very inexpensive undrafted free agent because the Patriots have very little cap space. As it is, there are fears that at least a couple of high-salaried players will be told to hit the bricks so they have enough room to sign their draft class. With just about $1.1 million as a base, don't expect to see Cam Newton in town any time soon.

I'd put the high priorities as kicker and offensive lineman -- and to that end, don't be surprised if they take a look at URI offensive guard Kyle Murphy, the former Attleboro High football and basketball standout, who has gotten positive reviews in the pre-draft publications.

By the way, the No. 159 pick (the Patriots' first of the day) is the only one for which we haven't printed a "who came there before" post, so here's who the Patriots have picked at No. 159 in the past:

2019 -- DL Byron Cowart, Maryland
2011 -- TE Lee Smith, Marshall
1997 -- LB Vernon Crawford, Florida State (currently Seekonk High's football coach)

My back yard is screaming at me to mow it, so I'll return to the keyboard once that job is finished. See you then.
