Looking at the remaining draft needs for the Patriots

The Patriots opened up the 2019 Draft by taking Arizona State WR N’Keal Harry, the first wideout taken in the first round by the Patriots with Bill Belichick calling the shots. That helps to solve a need to add an outside receiver who can compete against press-man coverage, perhaps the biggest weakness of the offense in 2018, which was exploited in the Patriots’ five losses and at times in the Super Bowl. Getting that X receiver was arguably one of the biggest needs for the Patriots going into the draft and I am happy that they picked up a blue chip prospect to address that need.
