(11:45) The discussion zeroes in on the wide receivers, where there's no superstar but a deep overall group. How much of Tyquan Thornton will we see in his rookie year? Are they going to keep everybody, or will there be an odd man out? Will DeVante Parker and/or Nelson Agholor ever pan out?
(15:12) Moving to the defensive side of the ball, the Patriots have had significant turnover in this area. How do they feel about the cornerback group for 2023? In the front-seven, someone unproven is going to need to step up in the post-Dont'a Hightower/Kyle Van Noy/Jamie Collins era.
