"The Patriots have selected at least one wide receiver in each of their last five drafts, with three of them taken on Day 2."
"Of the seven wide receivers drafted since Eliot Wolf joined the Patriots' front office in 2020, only sixth-round flyers Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas have carved out significant roles."
"New England may have no choice but to explore a trade for Brown this summer, even at the uncomfortable cost of 2027 draft capital."
"This mock draft finally gives New England the receiver it's been missing, with Omar Cooper Jr. projected to fall into their laps on Day 1."
The New England Patriots have consistently struggled to find a reliable wide receiver despite drafting one in each of the last five drafts. Only two of the seven receivers drafted since 2020 have become significant contributors. The team is linked to high-profile receivers like A.J. Brown and may need to consider trades to address their ongoing need. A recent mock draft suggests that Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. could be a game-changing addition if he falls to the Patriots at pick No. 31.
