There are three positions most talked about when it comes to where the New England Patriots could add at the trade deadline: wide receiver, running back and edge rusher.
The season-ending injury to Antonio Gibson, the fumbling issues of Rhamondre Stevenson and a clear lack of trust with rookie TreVeyon Henderson has cracked open the door for an addition at running back.
At receiver, the Patriots have a better-than-expected one-two punch with Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte, but you can never have enough weapons for a rising star quarterback like Drake Maye.
The Patriots do have a respectable 18 sacks through seven games, but five of those came against the putrid Tennessee Titans on Sunday and a team can never have enough good edge rushers.
CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones has weighed in on what the Pats might do and noted that the team seems to be content with its current crop of wideouts, which has surprised many around the NFL.
Jones believes that if New England does make a move, it'll likely come in the form of adding an edge rusher and/or running back.
The Patriots (5-2) have seemingly been comfortable going with their own receivers, which is a surprise to many around the league. After years of missing out on free-agent receivers, the Patriots appear to be willing to stand pat with the guys they currently have in the second year of Drake Maye's rookie deal.
Even if the Pats are fine with their pass catchers, I could still see them adding at running back or edge rusher. New England leads the AFC East standings.
Sitting at 5-2, the Patriots are well ahead of schedule in head coach Mike Vrabel's first season and they appear to have their guy in Maye, which should have Pats general manager Eliot Wolf going all in.
The Pats are in great shape now, but they should leave nothing to chance in a division that also features a flailing but talented Bills team.
