"A Puka Nacua comparison might feel strong, but like Nacua, Boston enters the draft with speed/separation concerns and outstanding competitive toughness. Boston gets off the line with good burst and maintains his top speed throughout the route."
"He could have issues beating press, but releases can also be schemed. He's very skilled when it comes to winning jump balls and contested throws. Boston also knows how to win in the red zone."
Bill Belichick's decision to select OL Atonio Mafi over WR Puka Nacua in the 2023 draft is now viewed as a mistake. Nacua, a fifth-round pick, has excelled with the Rams. ESPN's Field Yates suggests the Patriots could rectify this by selecting WR Denzel Boston from the University of Washington in the upcoming draft. Boston is compared to Nacua, possessing size, versatility, and competitive toughness, making him a compelling choice for the Patriots as they build their roster around quarterback Drake Maye.
