Large Off-Season Upcoming in New England
This offseason, the Patriots must decide whether to select Mac Jones as their starting quarterback or use the third overall choice in the NFL Draft to select a player.
The receiver group they have now won’t be sufficient for 2024; therefore, whoever the signal caller is will need to improve.
The only receivers on the roster that have not yet signed a free agency contract are JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Demario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, and Tyquan Thornton. Kendrick Bourne is not one of them. Should theyIf the team lets Bourne go, things can become ugly.
For New England to put the receiving corps in a position to support a potential rookie quarterback, a trade or free agency acquisition is required. It will be difficult for the quarterback the Patriots choose with the third selection to adjust to the professional game; if they don’t improve at receiver, it will be even more difficult.
The Patriots’ inability to choose a quarterback at number three and select Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr., the top receiver, may have helped to resolve the receiving problems, but the quarterback position will remain unresolved.
