While the moves New England made on defense will certainly help it get the ball in Maye's hands more frequently, let's look at the signings and draft capital invested in this Patriots' offense, starting with that offensive line. New England upgraded its offensive line via free agency with the signings of center Garrett Bradbury and right tackle Morgan Moses, while using the draft to select left tackle Will Campbell and center Jared Wilson. 

While many scouts regarded Campbell and Wilson as the premier options at each of their positions, Moses and Bradbury add a veteran presence and stability along the offensive line. The duo has started a combined 246 contests.

As for playmakers, New England signed Stefon Diggs, who, despite coming off a knee injury, projects to be Maye's go-to option. He saw 90 or more targets in eight of the previous nine seasons and produced 1,000 or more yards in the six seasons prior to his injury-shortened 2024 campaign in Houston.

At the draft, the Patriots made some significant upgrades in selecting Washington State product Kyle Williams, who slots into that WR3 role behind Diggs and DeMario Douglas. Williams is coming off a 70-reception, 1,198 receiving yard Senior season and has shown that he can produce against the best, where Williams got the best of Travis Hunter on more than one occasion.

The other major upgrade on offense comes at running backs, where TreVeyon Henderson looks to supplant Rhamondre Stevenson sooner rather than later. Henderson entered the draft arguably as the best pass protector at the running back position. He is also one of the more explosive backs who has an excellent production profile. Henderson's 4.43 40-yard time, 6.9 yards per carry, and 129.5 Burst score all rank among the 92nd percentile.

With Maye's mobility and upside as a passer, we could be looking at the next game-changing fantasy QB.
