3 moves to get the Patriots to the Super Bowl in 2023

Acquire DeAndre Hopkins

Whether he’s outright cut by the Arizona Cardinals or is indeed traded, the Patriots need to make this happen if they want to get to the Super Bowl in 2023.  When is the last time the Pats had a dynamic receiver like Hopkins?

Well, many could argue that the Pats did win their most recent Super Bowls without a true WR1 type of player, but Tom Brady was also the quarterback, so that kind of voids that argument.  With Lamar Jackson now in the fold in this scenario, giving him a weapon like Hopkins while also having JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mike Gesicki, Hunter Henry, and Kendrick Bourne is a solid arsenal of weapons to pick from.

Rhamondre Stevenson and James Robinson in the backfield would also give the Patriots a devastating running game with Lamar Jackson.

Adding these two players in the offense would propel this unit to one of the tops in the NFL.
