Patriots Draft: Need #3-Wide Receiver

April 23, 2023

The Patriots signed free agent Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster to a three year deal this off-season to replace Jakobi Meyers who departed in free agency. On paper, the Patriots have enough depth at the position with Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, TyQuan Thornton, Lynn Bowden and Tre Nixon. But after examining that list, it leaves something to be desired. Specifically, there’s no legitimate playmaker in the group that can stretch the field…….

Patriots Draft: Need #6-Defensive Line

April 17, 2023

When you look at the Patriots roster, defensive line isn’t exactly a pressing need. The Patriots have enough depth at defensive tackle and defensive end but the reality is, they could use another interior lineman and another true defensive end, one that could ideally rush the passer.
