2020 draft confirms it: The Patriots focusing on the run post-Tom-Brady era

When you look at the New England Patriots draft selections, it’s very evident that there was a specific focus on improving blocking on the offensive line and at the tight end position. The focus on the line might also give us a glimpse into the future of the New England Patriots offense.

By not drafting another quarterback to compete with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer, and by not drafting any wide receivers, New England looks like it is going to favor the running game for the foreseeable future.

They started their offensive line approach in the fifth round, selecting Michael Onwenu from Michigan.
