"After what has turned out to be a disastrous draft class during the lone season of Jerod Mayo, the Patriots needed to hit it out of the park this year, and so far, it looks like they have accomplished that. It was crucial to add the kind of talent the team had been lacking, so prioritizing specific positions was a must, especially in the early rounds."
"Mike Vrabel might have to make a tough call on Rhamondre Stevenson's future After a rough start to his NFL career as a rookie, being put in the doghouse by Bill Belichick due to fumbling issues, Stevenson appeared to mostly put the struggles behind him, only for fumbling to become a significant part of his performance over the last two years."
The Patriots addressed pressing roster needs by drafting left tackle Will Campbell and explosive running back TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson showed preseason promise as the future of the backfield and was projected to pair with Rhamondre Stevenson to form a top duo, but Henderson has had limited opportunities so far. Stevenson has endured recurring ball-security problems, including two red-zone fumbles in the loss to the Steelers. Stevenson has nine fumbles since the start of the 2024 season, the most by any non-quarterback in that span. Coaching decisions about Stevenson’s role could follow if turnovers continue.
