With the 2024 NFL Draft approaching, the New England Patriots’ intentions for their third overall pick remain shrouded in mystery. Former Patriots defensive back and current NBC NFL analyst Devin McCourty shared his perspectives on the team’s current predicament, suggesting that a trade may not necessarily involve solely draft picks as compensation. McCourty highlighted the Patriots’ roster needs and their potential to improve despite their disappointing 2023 season. He believes that the team should aim for a player with starting potential, such as Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw, in any hypothetical trade scenario. While McCourty acknowledged the possibility of addressing the wide receiver position through a trade, he ruled out the likelihood of acquiring a player like Justin Jefferson from the Vikings. The most probable outcome remains that the Patriots will retain their third overall selection without making a trade, in McCourty’s opinion.

The Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, battling for the AL West lead, open a three-game series on Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas.

The Rangers, coming off a 5-5 road trip, will counter with a potent offense featuring Andrew Knizner and Adolis Garcia.

In a disheartening playoff loss, star receiver Tyreek Hill faced criticism from coach Mike McDaniel, prompting him to vow improvement.

The Dolphins now face challenges in regrouping after significant roster turnover during the offseason, but their core remains largely intact, including the league’s most prolific offense led by McDaniel. Hill’s determination and the team’s potential for growth leave hope for a successful season.
