Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but the New England Patriots’ outside wide receiver group is looking rough at the moment. The top options to fill the X-receiver spot right now are Jalen Reagor as well as a bunch of tweeners in Tyquan Thornton, K.J. Osborn, and T.J. Luther.
Needless to say, the potential for improvement is significant. That improvement could come via the trade market — Tee Higgins remains a somewhat attractive candidate — but the “draft and develop” Patriots are likely to simply look at the youngsters available come late April’s player selection meet.
