The New England Patriots can't afford to have another disappointing NFL Draft.
While they may have found their franchise quarterback in Drake Maye, the Patriots still must surround the 2024 No. 3 pick with talent following their second straight 4-13 season. They started the process on Day 1 of the draft Thursday night by selecting LSU left tackle Will Campbell at No. 4 overall, then continued that process on Day 2 by taking three more offensive players.
There's still plenty of work to be done, however. Along with the skill positions on offense, the defense's lackluster pass rush must also be addressed. The Patriots ranked dead last in the NFL last season with only 28 sacks.
