The NFL’s great dynasty is finally dead. But can an ultimate draft

? Who to pick with the first overall pick in the NFL draft


It’s a decision that can set a franchise back years or change the fortunes of a long-struggling team.

Of course, there are also high expectations of the nominated player
The first
overall picks should be announced immediately, whether that's fair or not, because the fact is that teams with the No. 1 pick have had very little success in recent years, in some cases very rarely

However, it is possible that this trend will change in 2024
about the New England Patriots is arguably the most successful American sports franchise of the 21st centaur

Under the leadership of superstar QB Tom Brady, the Patriots won six Super Bowls from 2001 to 2018, winning nine of them

Brady's historic career with the Patriots ended after the 2019-20 

season following a playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans. Dramatically, Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following offseason, where his legend grew and he won the Super Bowl with the Florida team in 2021.

New England would select Alabama QB Mac Jones with the 10th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to replace Brady.

Jones had a great start to his NFL career, leading the Patriots to a 10-7 record and a playoff berth in his rookie season.
However, he has since struggled in the next two seasons, especially this year. Jones has been benched five times in 11 games this season, and with the Patriots at the bottom of the AFC standings, New England will Likely enter next year's draft and try again to find their future quarterback. the quarterback's successor






Two weeks ago, we wrote about the quality of the quarterbacks targeted inches draft and how they could turn out to be the best draft class ever at the position.

It seems certain that USC's Caleb Williams or North Carolina's Drake Maye will go first overall, but there are plenty of talented signal-callers like LSU's Jayden Daniels, Oregon's Bo Nix and Washington's Michael Penix Jr, who are also likely to be first-round picks.

What is less certain, however, is who the first team will choose
Currently, Karolina, who selected QB Bryce Young with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, has the 
The Patriots have plenty of holes on their roster outside o quarterback, but Williams is a special talent who can potentially turn anyone drafted into a contender within a few seasons. This would definitely bring relevance back to the franchise

Respected sportswriter and Boston enthusiast Bill Simmons agrees and believes the Patriots will have a chance to sign Williams this year.

“I think there will be six teams in the Caleb Williams draft,” Simmons said in October.

"The question I wrote to my friends today is simply: 'It's about time, isn't it? 'Afifa we ever get the chance to sign another franchise quarterback, it lookalike we have a great opportunity this season.







“I don't see how they couldn't be between 3 and 14. So why not accept that? Why not replace a few people and try to hit rock bottom? I think it's a good year for that
It would be unfair, especially to fans of the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, longtime rivals of the Patriots who have won just three Super Bowls between them.

For these fans, watching the Patriots struggle this season has been wonderful, but it could be a brief return to mediocrity.

Arizona is 2-10, and although their QB and former first-over pick Kyler Murray has played solid football since returning from an ACL injury three weeks ago, the Cardinals will likely look to get Murray into the game. , if they end up with a draft pick high enough to select Williams or Maye

There's still a lot to play for, but the reality is that at 2-9, New England still has a chance to have the worst record in the league.

After the Patriots lost 10-7 to the equally bad New York Giants on Monday after a missed field goal, many believe New England and coach Bill Belichick aren't giving up on a fresh start.

 Can you imagine the outcry among non-Patriots fans if a Boston
team landed the No. 1 overall pick and acquired a generational talent like Caleb Williams

A team that has been to the Super Bowl for nearly half of the last 22 years may need someone who many good judges have? described as the next Patrick Mahomes


As NFL writer Brett Kollman noted in a social media post in May, the Patriots choosing Williams will be almost like NBA team the San Antonio Spurs choosing Victor Wanyama, the most sought-after prospect since LeBron James. Like the Patriots, the Spurs have been the league's most successful team this century
 worst record in the league (1-10) but gave that pick to the Chicago Bears.
