The New England Patriots will make one of their most important decisions in recent franchise history this spring.

That may sound like overstatement, but the Patriots' No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft is their highest selection since 1993, when they took Drew Bledsoe first overall. How New England chooses to use that pick could determine the success of the team for years to come.

The options are plenty: The Patriots could take a stud quarterback in UNC's Drake Maye or LSU's Jayden Daniels, draft the consensus top wide receiver in Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr.
