The New England Patriots must lay the groundwork for their incoming quarterback during the NFL free agency period.
It is anticipated that the Patriots will choose either Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels, depending on availability, with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
In such a scenario, concerted efforts are essential in free agency to assemble a strong supporting cast that will enable the rookie quarterback to flourish in the upcoming 2024 season.
Improvements at the wide receiver position are imperative for the Patriots to remain competitive in Jerod Mayo’s inaugural season as head coach.
Additionally, securing new additions at tight end may become a necessity if convincing Hunter Henry to return proves challenging.
The Patriots’ new coaching staff also faces the task of fortifying the offensive line, with the potential departure of both Trent Brown and Mike Onwenu possibly resulting in at least a two-fifths overhaul of the unit in 2024.
