The New England Patriots failed to get consistent production out of its wide receiver position last year. Whether it was injuries, inexperience or off-field issues, the pass catchers simply were not up to par during the 2019 season. Heading towards this week’s draft, the position is therefore again in the spotlight and once more appears to be rather high up on the Patriots’ list of needs after they already spent a first-round pick on N’Keal Harry last year.
The current depth chart, after all, looks a lot like the one the team fielded last year.
