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…….

The Patriots brought in Kentucky quarterback Will Levis for a visit this week. The news came as a surprise but let’s not forget the Patriots also met with Anthony Richardson at the NFL Combine. It doesn’t mean they are going to draft either quarterback. Of course some might think that this is yet another sign that the organization is ready to move on from Mac Jones but I do not……

April 21, 2023

The Patriots like to play multiple fronts on defense but one thing is for sure, they like their linebackers especially off-ball linebackers who can play multiple roles within their defense.

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. The only free agent in the group next off-season is Carl Davis so the Patriots do not have to draft a defensive lineman……
