2024 NFL mock draft roundup: Patriots predictions with free agency underway

The New England Patriots' most glaring roster weakness entering NFL free agency was quarterback, and they made a great move to address that position by signing veteran Jacoby Brissett to a one-year deal worth $8 million.

Brissett is the perfect veteran to mentor a young quarterback, and he could also start a bunch of games himself while a rookie sits and learns the offense. He's also quite familiar with Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, who was the Browns OC in 2022 when Brissett started 16 games and played well.
