The Patriots have to fix what’s broke drafting receivers | Karen Guregian

There are scads of teams who will draft a quarterback every year with the hope of striking it rich.

They keep going back to the well, until they hit the jackpot.

That’s a sound strategy. That should also be the Patriots mindset when it comes to receivers.

Keep drafting them, until they get it right.

Let’s remember, the last pass catcher to get a Pro Bowl nod was a tight end, not a receiver. That was Rob Gronkowski, whose last selection came in 2017.

Julian Edelman was the team’s last 1,000-yard receiver. The last time he accomplished that feat was 2019.
