The New England Patriots need a QB1<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Patriots hold the No. 3 pick. General manager Eliot Wolf said the Patriots are\u00a0open to trading\u00a0the pick. While the team needs a long-term solution for QB1, they have other holes to fill. The Patriots filled one hole at tight end a few days before Thursday\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n

According to a statement by the Patriots, the team signed tight end Mitchell Wilcox. The team did not release contract details. Per\u00a0the statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cWilcox, 27, is a veteran of three NFL seasons with the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals. The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder, originally signed with Cincinnati on April 27, 2020, as a rookie free agent out of South Florida. He spent the majority of the 2020 season on the practice squad before being signed to the 53-man roster on Jan. 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

He has played in 48 regular season games with nine starts and has 29 receptions for 211 yards with one touchdown. Wilcox has played in seven postseason games and has added 2 receptions for 29 yards. Last season, Wilcox played in 17 games with four starts for Cincinnati and finished with 9 receptions for 56 yards.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Patriots need more WR help<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Even after this signing, the Patriots need more pass-catching help for their QB1 this fall. They need to find a true No. 1 wide receiver. A trade down from the No. 3 position could allow the Patriots to draft a top-tier wide receiver and take a quarterback like Bo Nix or Michael Penix Jr. later in round one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
