Phil Perry is back with a loaded Patriots Mailbag answering your questions on the state of the coaching staff, 2025 draft strategy and much more.
The 3-10 New England Patriots have made it to their bye week. Mercifully. But even though there's no game on the docket this Sunday, there's still plenty to discuss, particularly when it comes to the state of this franchise going forward.. Once again, we received a bounty of questions about all sorts of big-picture topics, from the job security of the coaches to 2025 NFL Draft prospects to Drake Maye's upside and everything in between. Let's dive right in.
That said! I could certainly see staff changes. Whether it's adding an experienced voice to help Covington, who has led a defense that continues to have communication issues... Or whether it's making a change in the receiver room... It wouldn't surprise me, for example, if you saw the team move on from people whose contracts are up after this season. Some in the organization were on similarly-termed deals -- meaning up after 2024 -- as Bill Belichick.
ZookeepergameSad645: Hey Phil, how likely is it that we will be able to attract top of the line free agents next offseason when Chicago and Washington also have promising young QB's and plenty of cap space? Would it make sense to trade for vets on expiring contracts? I think their first-round pick should be either Travis Hunter or Will Campbell, and I think they'll have a chance at one or both.. Even if they don't, there's a chance a couple of QB-needy teams talk themselves into Sanders/Ward near the top of the draft, leaving the Patriots -- if they're picking third or fourth -- with a shot at one of the two best non-QBs in the class.
burnerdadsrule: Looking at last year's draft, we took 3 OL talents but the line still has major issues. This year's draft seems thin at top, so it doesn't seem like there's anyone coming to the rescue. Where do you feel the Pats are heading in reassessing their process for picking, developing, and deploying the offensive line?
