The Patriots have long missed having a reliable and true No. 1 wide receiver over the last five years, with Julian Edelman being the last irrefutable top of the depth chart player in the receiving corps. That shouldn't be an issue this season, as Mike Vrabel addressed the void by signing Stefon Diggs and drafting Kyle Williams, hoping they can turn the offense around as Drake Maye's top weapons.
Based on what the quarterback showed as a rookie and how the receivers have looked during practice so far, there's a good chance the Patriots will finally have a game-changing receiver on the field again, which is crucial since they haven't had a 1,000+ yard pass catcher since Edelman in 2019.
