The New England Patriots already failed to develop one first-round quarterback in Mac Jones. They can't afford to make the same mistake with Drake Maye.
That's what makes this offseason so crucial for the Patriots. While Maye has serious franchise QB potential, the team needs to surround him with the right players and coaches if it wants to maximize his immense talents.
Adding wide receivers and offensive tackles via free agency and the NFL Draft seems obvious. But do the Patriots need to make coaching changes as well -- specifically at offensive coordinator -- or should they allow Alex Van Pelt to continue working with Maye in 2025?
