The New England Patriots were once the pillar and standard of excellence in the NFL. But times are changing and a new era is embarking upon us in Foxborough. Tom Brady left the franchise a few years ago and after a few pedestrian seasons, the architect of the Patriots' dynasty, Bill Belichick, soon followed after a disastrous 4-13 season.
But at least New England is positioned well to turn things around. They have the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and entered this offseason with a boatload of cap space to work with.
