The New England Patriots could approach the 2024 NFL Draft in many different ways. This time of year is famous for the many different opinions and mock drafts. A recent mock draft from Lance Zierlein, an NFL Draft analyst, had the Patriots making a different move than expected. Many people believe New England will stay at third overall and select their quarterback of the future, but Zierlein believes differently.

The New England Patriots just got some great news from a division rival. Buffalo Bills star receiver, Stefon Diggs, was traded to the Houston Texans.

How will Director of Scouting, Eliot Wolf, look to get back on track when the NFL Draft rolls around in April? Overall, the Patriots have quite a long way to go before they can be considered…
The New England Patriots have their first top 30 visit scheduled according to Tony Pauline. They are bringing in UCF wide receiver, Javon Baker. Baker is a very talented player who could make an immediate impact in Foxborough. He is a classic outside “X” type of receiver, standing at six foot one inch, and weighing in at 208 pounds. He has the size to compete with any corner that matches up against him, and his physical play style is incredibly valuable. With his size and contested catch ability, Baker could develop into a true number one receiver with the proper…

The New England Patriots reportedly had a few members of their staff in attendance at the Texas pro day yesterday according to Jim Nagy, who is the executive director of the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Texas has some very explosive offensive players, which is exactly what New England needs for 2024 and beyond. Texas wide receivers, Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell, are both very impressive Draft prospects. They both are incredibly explosive, fast, and polished route runners. Not to mention, Worthy recently set the NFL Scouting Combine record for the fastest forty yard dash ever, at 4.21 seconds. The Texas playmakers…
The New England Patriots have made it clear that they wish to make some huge upgrades through the NFL Draft. Although, there is some speculation on how they may go about making these upgrades. Whether it is taking generational receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., or securing the future face of the franchise at the quarterback position, many people have different opinions. It was reported this morning by Albert Breer, that the Patriots organization will have a huge presence at the pro days of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels. This almost gives away the decision that New England will most…
The New England Patriots have shown throughout Free Agency, that they wish to keep their stars at home in Foxborough. They have extended almost all of their players that were set to become free agents. The most important extension of all, belonged to offensive lineman Mike Onwenu. Onwenu has been a huge bright spot for the underwhelming Patriots offense over the last few seasons, and he was rewarded with a huge new contract during Free Agency. The contract is worth fifty seven million dollars over the next three years, showing how much New England values one of their best players.…
The New England Patriots famously missed out on drafting Deebo Samuel, DK Metcalf, and A.J. Brown. They selected N’Keal Harry in the 2019 NFL Draft over these other star players. Harry was not a good pick and is one of the larger blemishes on Bill Belichick’s drafting career. However, with the new staff in place in New England, the Patriots may be able to right their wrong in the 2024 NFL Draft. Samuel, Metcalf, and Brown are all big, strong athletes who consistently bully opposing defenders, and it looks like a name in this year’s Draft class is emerging as…
The New England Patriots haven’t made the big splash in Free Agency that the fans had hoped for. So far, all they have done is extend their own players, add in some depth pieces, and a bridge quarterback in Jacoby Brissett. The Patriots have made some moves that fans approve of, such as extending star offensive lineman, Mike Onwenu. Onwenu has been one of the few bright spots on the offensive side of the ball, and keeping him in Foxboro was a huge priority for Eliot Wolf and the New England front office. Fans could be surprised by a trade…
