After finishing out the 2025 NFL season with one of the worst offensive line units in the NFL, it's clear the New England Patriots need to make some changes up front to keep Drake Maye safe in his sophomore season.
Fortunately, the Patriots have an absolute boatload of cap space – $119.8 million, to be exact – and will be able to pretty much build their roster as they see fit before the 2025 NFL Draft.
One suggestion, presented by the fine folks over at Pro Football Focus, was to not just sign the best offensive tackle in free agency, which will likely be Ronnie Stanley if the Baltimore Ravens let him walk, but also grab the top guard, Trey Smith of the Kansas City Chiefs, to pair him up with, checking two names off their list to ensure Maye doesn't fail for the same reasons as Mac Jones before him.
