The New England Patriots have several areas of improvement right now, especially on the offensive end of the field.
And while everybody talks about quarterback, they also need someone to throw the football to.

This team will have multiple top-notch players entering as free agents either next year or the following, and they will have to prioritize.
And with no team in a bigger need of depth and talent at the wide receiver position, Eliot Wolf should be all over him right now.
