The New England Patriots have reportedly zeroed in on two positions to address early in the 2023 NFL Draft - and a pair of Ohio State stars could fit the bill.
When the offseason began, many NFL figures suggested the Patriots needed to bolster their offensive line in the first round of this month’s draft after quarterback Mac Jones struggled in 2022. The Patriots have two starting offensive tackles in Trent Brown and free agent signing Riley Reiff, but both men have lengthy injury histories and are entering contract years in 2023.
The Pats also look set to move for a wide receiver, as the franchise look to add a weapon and help Jones. The consensus top receivers in the draft are TCU’s Quentin Johnston, USC's Jordan Addison, and Boston College product Zay Flowers as well as Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
