Report: Patriots officials believe elite upgrade needed in WR room

Some members of the New England Patriots organization believe the team needs to upgrade the talent in the wide receiver room. This was first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Girardi.

The wide receiver room was led by Jakobi Meyers, who had 67 catches for 804 yards and six touchdowns on the year. The North Carolina State product had one game of over 100 receiving yards, which came against the Detroit Lions on October 9.

There was little in the way of consistent production beyond Meyers. DeVante Parker was next in line with 47 catches for 539 yards and three touchdowns.
