I think the foundation of what we’re seeing now was laid years ago. It’s going to take a while to dig out of this and will require a different approach to drafting players and building an offense. I think it could be argued the Patriots have only made at best a handful of wise decisions on offense over the last half decade.

2018 - Draft Isiah Wynn as the LT of the future.

Wynn flashes at point as a LT, but is often injured and inconsistent when healthy.

2019 - Draft N’Keal Harry over a slew of better WR options.

Fail to draft or develop replacements for Edelman or White.

Trade for Mohammed Sanu

2020 - Cap reset year after Brady.

Trade out of 1st round, missing out on players like Aiyuk and Pittman.

Draft two bust TEs in the 3rd.

2021 - Let Joe Thuney, their best OL player, walk.

Sign Nelson Agholor and Jonnu Smith to large contracts.

Ignore burgeoning OL issues.

2022 - Let Ted Karras walk.

Let McDaniels go, along with half the FO and offensive coaching staff.

Install Matt Patricia as OC.

Install Joe Judge at QBC.

Do not hire a OL coach.

Draft Cole Strange at LG.

Draft Tyquan Thornton.

Bench Bourne.

2023 - Let Meyers walk.

Sign Juju Smith - Schuster.

Ignore OL issues from previous year.

Do not draft any offensive players in the top-100. First offensive players drafted is a back up Center.

Ignore issues at WR and do not bring in any impact players.
