Fortunately, the 2024 NFL Draft is just a couple of weeks away, so we won't have to guess who the Patriots will select this year for much longer. It's a critical draft that will surely dictate the future of the organization, all under the new leadership of Jerod Mayo, presumed general manager Eliot Wolf, and the rest of the new staff. The plan, as always, is to put together an impressive class that can immediately improve the team and become the centerpieces of the future. But what if that's not what happens this year? What if the new staff completely botched the process and went against everything believed to be the best way to navigate the draft?
