Last week’s Pro Days where the Patriots evaluated both Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, seem to have shifted the narrative in terms of who New England should be considering among quarterbacks.  So far, it sounds like Maye is building some momentum.

In his Pro Day outing, Drake Maye, settled down and made some long throws that easily went 40-50+ yards with ease. 

The big story yesterday afternoon was the performance of Drake Maye, who ended up with a solid showing during North Carolina’s Pro Day on Thursday.

At the League meetings this week in Orlando, the NFL adopted several new rule changes.  The two most controversial changes were the new kickoff rule and attempt to eliminate the “Hip Drop” tackle. 

As the Patriots continue pondering what to do with the #3 pick, if history is any indication, should they trade out of that spot, they’re going to need to bear down and actually fill their other needs rather than potentially target a player further down the board at QB next month.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Tuesday that ‘we’re going to be open to whatever can come our way,’ heading into next month’s draft.

It’s been interesting to hear the reactions following Jerod Mayo’s press conference on Monday, and at the rate things are going, it’s likely that he’ll sound quite differently in the coming months.

Here’s the full transcript of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s meeting with the media on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

Head coach Jerod Mayo took some time on Monday to talk to the New England media, addressing a variety of topics as he attempted to provide some “clarity” behind the team’s “strategy” that’s taken place so far this offseason.

Here’s the full transcript from Jerod Mayo’s AFC Coaching Breakfast for Monday, March 25, 2024.

Asking to fill all three (QB,T, WR) via the draft puts too much pressure on the board, They have to fill at least one via free agency. 

With nine days left before March comes to an end, Jerod Mayo and the Patriots still find themselves with some key needs ahead of next month’s NFL Draft.

Newcomer K.J. Osborn spoke to the media on Wednesday, talking about what it’s been like so far since the free agent Vikings receiver agreed to terms last week.

The decision to claim former CFL quarterback Nathan Rourke off of waivers back in December could be one of the final moves by Bill Belichick that could pay dividends.

Following up on the mention here yesterday about the difficulties young quarterbacks are dealing with, Rich Eisen also talked about it at length and made some strong points on Tuesday.

While the Patriots have made some key re-signings and added a couple of depth players, the club still finds itself in a tough spot when it comes to the offensive tackle spot heading into week two of free agency.

While there has been some speculation that the club might be willing to entertain offers for the #3 overall pick, it sounds like New England plans on staying where they are next month.

The Patriots may be having a tough time attracting high-end talent when it comes to wide receivers, but that hasn’t stopped Eliot Wolf from trying to add talent to the offense.

The only way I wouldn’t stand pat at #3 is because I’d have serious concerns about either Maye or Daniels being “the guy”

The Vikings are among several teams who have been pondering a move up the draft board, but a move on Friday signals that they may be getting more serious about it.

The Patriots up to this point of Free Agency are acting more like the “Packer Way” that is embraced by defacto GM Eliot Wolf. 

The Patriots were busy adding some additional depth on Wednesday, adding Steelers free agent defensive tackle Armond Watts and offensive lineman Nick Leverett from Tampa Bay.

The New England Patriots made a full-court press on Jaguars free agent wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who finally made a decision late Wednesday.

After days of negotiations and an aggressive bid for Jaguars free agent wide receiver Calvin Ridley, both New England and the Jaguars apparently ended up getting outbid for Ridley’s services.

To this point, the Patriots have made moves to clear out their receiver room and start working toward revamping their offense, and it appears there’s potentially one player who they’re hoping to get a deal done with.
