3 teams with important first-round picks

Outside of the first two picks (the Texans and Panthers), let’s see what other teams have a lot riding on this year’s draft.

Patriots (Pick #14)

The Patriots desperately need a top two wide receiver in this draft to fall to their pick at 14. In their division, the Patriots severely lack talent on offense to compete and close the gap with the Dolphins, Bills, and Jets. That being said, there is still zero chance Bill Belichick trades up to draft a skill position, but in order to ensure young QB Mac Jones improves upon his first and second seasons in the league, adding more talent to their pass catching group with a first round pick is paramount for the New England Patriots and Mac Jones’ success in Foxboro.
