The New England Patriots are facing criticism for their poor performance in drafting skill position players. Despite once being a scoring powerhouse, their offensive struggles have persisted post-Tom Brady.
This season, they waived quarterback Bailey Zappe and running back Kevin Harris, leaving only wide receiver Tyquan Thornton from their 2022 draft class. A dismal drafting history has left the team with minimal viable talent at key positions.
Recent drafts show a concerning trend, with only a few skill position players still on the roster from the past decade. However, a new management team is in place, potentially offering hope for future improvements.
