The Patriots have a big decision to make when the 2024 NFL Draft begins in April. New England has the no. 3 and could have the option to select a quarterback or receiver.The six-time Super Bowl champion could use help at both positions.
Mack Jones struggled in a crucial third year and was eventually dealt to Bailey Zappé. But he didn’t turn out to be much better than Jones. The Patriots offense also struggled. There’s a chance they’ll make Marvin Harrison smaller. Meanwhile, New England’s offensive force in 2024 may look different.
On the latest episode of Eye On Foxborough, three-time Super Bowl champion James White joined MassLive Patriots reporter Karen Guregian to discuss the upcoming draft and what the Patriots can do with the no. 3.“I support this pick 100% because I love Marvin Harrison Jr. I can see them drafting a quarterback as well. It all boils down to the goal of getting the franchise back to where it was,” White said. “I don’t think I can go wrong with any choice I make.
I can try to get to first place or I can just stay in third place. I don’t know what their plan is. There are a lot of talented quarterbacks in this draft, from guys who could go in the first round to guys who could go in the second or third round. I think there is depth at the fourth position.”So I don’t think there’s any need to take a No. 3, but if there’s a player you think can be a really good defender, you might look at taking him,” he added. “You can also get a good receiver in the second or third round.
They also have a deep receiver class. So it’s like picking poison. There are a lot of options out there. “It will be interesting to see what direction they take,” he said.
