The New England Patriots’ efforts to improve a disappointing offense this offseason did not include any major splashes at the wide receiver position.
They did sign free agent JuJu Smith-Schuster, but also lost their WR1 from the last three seasons — Jakobi Meyers — on the open market. They also did draft a pair of high-upside players at the position, but waited until the third day to bring Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas aboard. Neither of the two should be expected to be an instant difference-maker, while Smith-Schuster projects as a replacement for Meyers first and foremost.
