Patriots upgrade at WR in Pro Football Focus' new 2023 NFL Mock Draft originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots could go in several different directions with their first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but one position they must upgrade at some point in the offseason is wide receiver.
A lack of elite skill and game-breaking ability plagued the Patriots at the position during the 2022 season. New England did not have a 1000-yard wideout and no player on the team hauled in 70 or more receptions.
