The New England Patriots have the right coach, the right quarterback and the right coordinators to make progress back toward playoff contention.
Now the focus turns to talent. The Patriots don’t have much of it. Quarterback Drake Maye and cornerback Christian Gonzalez are stars, no doubt about it. Now, New England needs skill upgrades at several positions, particularly on offense. From wide receiver to offensive tackle, the Patriots must solidify those positions to move forward.
New England could address those in the 2025 NFL Draft with players like two-way star Travis Hunter, tackle Will Campbell or wideout Tetairoa McMillan.
