Dynasty Nerds

The Patriots will be heading in a different direction for the first time in over two decades, as they don’t have Tom Brady or Bill Belichick on the team. The Patriots signed Jared Mayo as their new head coach, and they did that quickly after Belichick’s departure. Mayo is going to have a lot to do to fix this team. On the offensive side of the ball, they were the worst team in yards per game and the second worst in points per game. They have an apparent hole in a quarterback that they have not seemed to fill since Brady left. The combination of Cam Newton and Mac Jones left very little to offer the team. The offense lacks talent on the outside and a true WR1 on the team. The tight end position will see Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki depart as free agents. The Patriots allowed the ninth most sacks this past season, and they are potentially losing Trent Brown and Michael Onwenu to free agency.
