It was reported earlier this week that New England Patriots president Jonathan Kraft would be “heavily-involved” in the decision-making for the Patriots, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. However, a follow up to the report from Russini offered more in-depth talking points on the initial news. Russini wrote: A longtime league executive says this is a more involved ownership, with a group of scouts presenting the information and a head coach and general manager charged with filling a depleted roster. The team has yet to award the title of general manager to Eliot Wolf, who is running point, an ..read more

ESPN’s Mike Reiss believes the New England Patriots will not trade back from the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday. Rather, he sees all of the trade talk as them exploring options. It is believed that New England would have to get quite the haul in order to trade the third overall selection. Earlier this week, it was reported that New England had only received laughable offers for the third overall pick. The organization is in a position to select one of the top-two projected signal-callers in Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels to help bring stability back to their quarterback position ..read more

You can add wide receiver Kendrick Bourne to the growing list of New England Patriots, past and present, that were not a fan of “The Dynasty” docuseries. Unlike some of the Patriots who have already commented, the wide receiver is a relatively new face to the organization. He joined the team in 2021 as a free agent and immediately made an impact. This past season was cut short by an ACL injury, but he is ready to make an impact once more, as the organization undergoes a major transition. The wideout got to see first-hand what former Patriots coach Bill Belichick was like behind the scenes. He ..read more

Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy appeared on The Adam Schefter podcast earlier this week and discussed the possibility of playing for the New England Patriots. McCarthy had high praise for both the organization and NFL legend Tom Brady. Granted, the former Wolverine is carving out a solid football career in his own right. He is coming off a 2023 national championship season with Michigan and is projected to go in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. He threw for 6,226 yards and 49 touchdowns in his Michigan career, including a 22-touchdown effort last season. Now, he is looking to make a b ..read more

The New England Patriots have a chance to course correct coming off the worst season in the Bill Belichick era. They sputtered their way through free agency, but the splash fans have patiently waited to see could come at the 2024 NFL draft. It’s the beginning of the Jerod Mayo and Eliot Wolf era, and New England has eight picks in total, including the No. 3 overall pick. It’s a rare position to be in for a team looking for a new franchise face to take over the reins at quarterback. But it isn’t just about the quarterback position. The Patriots need game-changing playmakers at receiver and rel ..read more

There has been so much talk about what the New England Patriots are going to do with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft that people are overlooking their No. 34 pick in the second round. Some would even go as far as considering it another first-round pick with it being only two picks from the final selection at No. 32 on Thursday night. That means the Patriots will have a chance to take multiple top-50 players on the draft board. The expectations are that New England will address the quarterback position with the third overall pick, barring a last-minute blockbuster trade. That coul ..read more

There has been plenty of speculation regarding top quarterback prospect Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. A previous report, via ESPN’s Adam Schefter, suggested Daniels’ camp had some frustrations with the Commanders’ visit process. That has caused some to question if the team might ultimately consider taking North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye over Daniels. However, nothing has changed in regards to Washington’s interest in the LSU quarterback. Per Schefter, the Commanders are still expected to take Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, which would then leav ..read more

The New England Patriots worked out veteran tight end Mitchell Wilcox on Monday, liked what they saw and ultimately agreed on a deal, per Patriots.com. Wilcox recently played for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2021-2023. He played in 48 games, making nine starts and recording 29 catches for 211 yards and a touchdown.

They signed Austin Hooper to a one-year deal back in March as a replacement for former Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki, who signed with the Bengals in free agency. La’Michael Pettway is also ..read more

It’s safe to say New England Patriots fans weren’t the least bit thrilled when hearing the news that Jonathan Kraft was reportedly heavily-involved in the draft decision-making process. That won’t exactly help anyone sleep easier knowing potential franchise-altering decisions could be coming from ownership instead of the front office. Granted, it’s important to keep in mind that the report stated the buck still stops with Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf. That obviously sounds good, but there’s no certainty things will actually play out that way when major decisions need to be made ..read more

The New England Patriots remain steadfast in their desire to hold on to the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. However, that hasn’t stopped several teams from trying to get New England to trade down. The Minnesota Vikings are one of the teams who want the third overall selection in hopes of landing one of the top quarterbacks in the draft. Minnesota could use a younger signal-caller to fill the position, following the departure of Kirk Cousins to the Atlanta Falcons. However, it would probably take a large offer for the Patriots’ organization to even consider moving the draft pick. ESPN ..read more
