The New England Patriots are heading into arguably their most intriguing draft of the Bill Belichick era. Coming off a 7-9 season and uncharacteristically aggressive free agency period, the team appears to be set up to make some major moves in the draft — bolstering a team with some major needs on both sides of the ball.
One stands out above them, though, and could be addressed early in Round 1: the Patriots are in need of a long-term solution at the quarterback position. Given the moves they made in free agency, and the fact that they are picking higher than they have in quite some time now could be the perfect time to try to fill the biggest hole on the team and add a new franchise quarterback to be developed into the eventual starter further down the line.
