The Patriots exit the initial wave of free agency with mixed feelings about the roster heading into a crucial draft for the organization. New England is going on a half-decade now where we look at their offense on paper and say, 'they don't have enough,' and you can't expect different results while shopping at the same price point. Eventually, head coach Bill Belichick has to end the rut by investing his top assets in the draft into upgrading quarterback Mac Jones's supporting cast. The Patriots need 'Tuesday players' at the top of their roster. In particular, an offensive playmaker who opposing defensive coordinators must craft game plans around. Who scares you on the Pats offense? A question that hasn't had a good answer for far too long. Although the Patriots have potential day-one needs at offensive tackle and corner, assuming they're sticking with Jones at quarterback, nothing will increase their ceiling more than an instant-impact receiver. With how the game has evolved, those players are now the most valuable commodity on your roster outside of quarterback.
