Mac Jones may not need an elite receiver. But it wouldn’t hurt. The New England Patriots rookie quarterback would benefit from that No. 1 wideout that so many young NFL quarterbacks have.
Look no further than what the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots’ top competition in the AFC East, did for quarterback Josh Allen. After Allen’s brutal rookie season, the Bills made a blockbuster deal to acquire receiver Stefon Diggs in a trade, and it made a tremendous difference for Allen, whose developmental trajectory totally changed after the trade.
So let’s dive into how the Patriots might begin thinking about acquiring their version of Diggs. New England has options. We discuss some of those options — along with doling out a grade for Jones — in this week’s Patriots Wire podcast.
