The first week of free agency is in the books, but there are still multiple high-profile players left on the market.

While not all of the moves are guaranteed to have a major impact on the team, they did address some holes and improved either the starter level or the overall depth of the team.
Still, with the first wave of free agency over, the Patriots are still lacking at some positions. Wide receiver, tight end, defensive tackle, linebacker, cornerback and safety could still benefit from more talent being brought aboard to compete. Some of it will surely come via the draft, but free agency also still has some candidates the team might consider.
In order to find out who those players are, we are looking at the top-200 consensus board compiled by Acme Packing Company’s Justis Mosqueda.

They entered the offseason with Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs both under contract, and later retained third-stringer Tommy DeVito on a two-year extension.
Even if they had not made that move, none of the QBs listed here would have been realistic targets in the first place. Running back 106: Najee Harris 110: Brian Robinson 183: Jeremy McNichols 191: Raheem Mostert In an expected move, Deneric Price was not tendered by the Patriots as a restricted free agent. While this removes another option from a running back group that currently carries three players behind a top two of Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson — Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison, Elijah Mitchell — the Patriots do not appear to be under much pressure to add another RB to the mix, particularly not one of the high-profile variety.
