The New England Patriots' top priority this offseason is to build around Drake Maye. That means finding the second-year quarterback some weapons to work with while upgrading the offensive line.
More specifically, the Patriots must address the offensive tackle position after a nightmare 2024 campaign in which their QBs were sacked a whopping 52 times. Both sides of the line were a problem, but protecting Maye's blindside should be a priority.
Finding high-end offensive linemen in free agency isn't easy. Usually, teams sign their top linemen to contract extensions before they have a chance to hit the open market.
