The New England Patriots entered the offseason knowing they needed to upgrade their receiving group regardless of whoever became the next starting quarterback of the team.
In doing so, the Patriots signed veteran wide receiver Marqise Lee to a one-year deal on the morning of the NFL Draft after adding former Cardinals wideout Damiere Byrd in free agency.
The Patriots also had plenty of opportunities to upgrade their receiving group this year in the 2020 NFL Draft, seeing as there were only five wide receivers drafted before the Pats were on the clock with their first pick (23rd overall), and 13 in total before the start of the third round.
