The New England Patriots used their first-, second- and third-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft on defensive players. Former Patriots safety and three-time Super Bowl champion Devin McCourty hopes the franchise takes the opposite approach to the 2024 NFL Draft later this month.
McCourty took part in a season ticket holder event at Gillette Stadium last week and shared his thoughts on the Patriots' glaring need for more high-end talent on the offensive side of the ball.
"As much as I love defense, I would love to see first round/offense, second round/offense, third round/offense," McCourty told the crowd, as transcribed by ESPN's Mike Reiss.
