1. New England Patriots
The Drake Maye Era is here, and New England’s second-year quarterback already has the team pushing for a playoff spot. Currently owning a 3-2 record after the team’s win over the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots have the roster to make their first playoff appearance since 2021. However, if they want to go deep in the playoffs, they should consider an A.J. Brown trade.
Maye looks like the real deal, and Stefon Diggs is playing like his old self thus far in his Patriots career. A duo like this can get you to the postseason, but Brown could give this team one of the league’s better receiving duos. With Diggs and Brown complemented by Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, and tight end Hunter Henry, New England could have one of the league’s premier passing attacks.
