The New England Patriots entered this offseason with a clear need at wide receiver and even moved on from DeVante Parker, who recorded 33 receptions for 394 yards last year. To address the issue, New England added a number of players at the position to the room, including veteran K.J. Osborn and two rookie draft picks, Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, but is that enough?Best porn XXX. Are they any better than were last year? Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema recently ranked every team’s wide receiving corps from the best to the worst heading into this upcoming season, and the Patriots came in dead last at No. 32. Here’s what Sikkema had to say about New England’s disappointing group: “The Patriots fielded the 28th-ranked receiving corps by PFF grade last year. Their highest-graded pass-catcher was departed tight end Pharaoh Brown. The team’s second- and third-highest-graded receivers in 2023 were Demario Douglas and Hunter Henry. Rookies Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker should get a good amount of looks early on. At running back, New England brought in Antonio Gibson, who is a good pass-catcher. Ultimately, this is a low-ceiling group for 2024. But the long-term outlook is decent.” The five teams ranked just ahead of the Patriots are the Los Angeles Chargers (No. 31), Denver Broncos (No. 30), Carolina Panthers (No. 29), New York Giants (No. 28) and Buffalo Bills (No. 27). With Kendrick Bourne recovering from a torn ACL, New England’s best bets at a breakout season would be from Douglas or either of the drafted rookies, but that’s asking a lot from three guys in their first year in this new offense. They may all be solid, but it’s hard to imagine any of them going off for over 1,000 yards in 2024.
