3 Biggest Patriots Draft Takeaways
In dissecting the Patriots’ priorities ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, pundits unanimously identified quarterback, wide receiver, and left tackle as the primary needs. As expected, these areas were the initial focus in the draft. However, the task of addressing all three needs with perfect-fit prospects proved daunting. While Drake Maye emerged as a clear choice for the team, they missed out on trading back into the first round and had to settle for Ja’Lynn Polk at wide receiver. Additionally, the top left tackle prospects were snatched up before their pick, leading to the selection of Caedan Wallace, leaving a degree of uncertainty at the position.
