A year ago the New England Patriots needed a quarterback and, presto, Mac Jones presented himself with surprisingly successful results.
This year they need a cornerback and ... not as simple.
With former All-Pro Stephon Gilmore long gone to Indianapolis and a once-in-a-lifetime bolt of Brady unlikely to strike twice, the Patriots might need some luck in the NFL Draft. If the Patriots lined up for a game this week their starting cornerbacks would be Jalen Mills and ... hmm.
Terrance Mitchell? Malcolm Butler? Shaun Wade? Or, how about a talented rookie taken at No.
