The Patriots will hold another open OTA practice this week, followed by a pair of them next week as the team continues to build toward mandatory minicamp, scheduled to take place June 10-12. While last week's practice featured a veteran-heavy approach, we'll see if any rookies or second-year players have earned any movement up the depth chart.
For now, the biggest questions looming over the Patriots are when will Drake Maye get his first game action and how will the competitions at offensive tackle and receiver play out. Those three things will go a long way toward determining the trajectory of the team this fall and the early seeds of insight are already on display at the team's low-tempo practices.
