The New England Patriots have deemed that winning just seven games is not an acceptable tally for this franchise, and they have chosen to address that problem head-on by bringing back Cam Newton to be their quarterback as well as signing a boatload of talented free agents, including former Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Matthew Judon.
However, the Patriots didn’t completely mortgage the future in order to bring in this collection of talent, as they drafted a player who they believe can be their starting quarterback for a decade or longer in Alabama’s Mac Jones.
