The New England Patriots addressed their needs at tight end in the 2020 NFL Draft by selecting Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene in the third round. The Patriots had Asiasi as their No. 1 tight end in the draft, so the UCLA product has a lot to prove in his rookie campaign. Keene was selected higher than projected, but has potential to the be x-factor at this position.

Sierra Goodwill and Evan Lazar also discuss whether or not Matt LaCosse or Ryan Izzo will make the 53-man roster and be useful this upcoming season.

Tom Brady's departure from the Patriots resembled that of many great NFL quarterbacks. It was a culmination of changes and events over multiple seasons that led to Brady to leave New England: no contract extension, Jimmy Garoppolo not being traded right away, Rob Gronkowski almost being traded, not being compensated after years of sacrificing salary for the team, etc. But is the team completely to blame for Brady moving on?

Sierra Goodwill and Evan Lazar talk to Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal who reported that Brady had been "checked out" since 2018.

"The Last Dance" 10-part documentary on Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls concluded, begging the question: which team warrants a similar type of documentary? The six-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, led by Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, have to be on top of that list. The 20-year dynasty featured plenty of drama and scandals, from Spygate and Deflategate to the mysterious benching of Malcolm Butler in SBLII, that would make for incredibly intriguing storytelling.

Sierra Goodwill, Evan Lazar and Mike Petraglia discuss what they'd want to see most if this documentary were to be made.
