While the New England Patriots may have some pieces to build around going forward, including rookie quarterback Drake Maye, they've played some ugly football throughout the 2024 campaign.
Their performance has led to a 3-9 record through their first 12 games, and with that, Patriots fans and analysts are looking at the franchise's future despite there still being five games left in Jerod Mayo's first season as the team's head coach.
If New England continues on this trajectory, they'll be picking near the top of the 2025 NFL draft again, putting them in prime position to select a talented, young player at a position of need.
