The New England Patriots have a lot of work to do this off season if they want to be competitive next year. The team is going with a whole new look with Jerod Mayo as the new head coach and now they will have to continue to bring in new talent. Perhaps their most important move this off season, is what they are going to do with their top draft pick. Now it is being reported that the Patriots will be drafting a quarterback with the top 3 pick.
New England Patriots Are Reportedly Drafting A Quarterback
Patriot fans got some great news on Wednesday as The Athletic reported that the Patriots will likely use that pick on a quarterback. They will not have an opportunity to get the best prospect in Caleb Williams, but they should have a real opportunity to get either Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye with the 3rd overall pick. Both of those are great options for the team.
Caleb should go 1 so unless the team drafts up they will not be able to get him. Jayden and Drake are spectacular prospects and should make an immediate impact in the NFL. Jayden seems like the most probable option as of now. Getting the Heisman trophy winner would be a huge addition for New England.
The Team Still Has A LOT Of Work To Do
The team does not just need a QB since Tom Brady left they also need more weapons at the skill positions and they need to revamp their offensive line a bit. The defense should be very solid with Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzales Coming back but the offense will have major issues.
The team can look to get many of those needs in free agency as their are a few incredible receivers that will be available. With Rhamondre Stevenson back they can be a very competitive team in Mayo’s first year but they will need to make a lot of moves first.
