Patriots’ Draft Plans Remain a Mystery, McCourty Weighs In

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.
