Patriots mailbag: Fans want to know more about the offensive line, as well as the fight for roster spots at wide receiver
— Dennis Hanson, Maine It's going to be better, for a few reasons. The Patriots are better at right and left tackle than they were last year, provided Moses can stay healthy and Campbell can settle in and develop consistency at left tackle. Jared Wilson has proven himself to be NFL-ready at left guard. They've asked Onwenu to do too much in recent years, but if you keep him at one spot (right guard), I'm confident he'll have a bounce-back year. There are questions at center, but Ben Brown is serviceable if Bradbury is ineffective. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up How much better? That remains to be seen. The last couple of years have seen a perfect storm of poor coaching, health issues, and ineffective play. They've had six offensive line coaches since Dante Scarnecchia left. Advertisement Jared Wilson: Starting center or starting left guard? — Vince, Wilmington Starting left guard. He's managed to distinguish himself in a number of ways over the first week-plus of training camp, including staying on the field through some withering heat. There have been rocky moments while working at center (particularly with center/quarterback exchanges), but he's been impressive at left guard. There's still time between now and the opener, but he's at the top of the depth chart there. What's the most overrated unit on the team, and what's the most underrated? — Michael, Everett I wouldn't go so far as to call them overrated. I don't know if you can have an overrated part of a team that's won eight games in two years. But I'd like to see more out of the offensive line. It feels like they have a good handle on the guard spots with Onwenu and Wilson, but there's still a lot of uncertainty at tackle and center. I don't know if it's just facing a really good defensive front every day, or that the offensive line is struggling. We should know more when joint practices kick off. Advertisement Most underrated is a tie between tight end and linebacker. Players such as Hunter Henry, Robert Spillane, and Jack Gibbens are consistent but not overly splashy, and will play big roles this season. Related : Asking Kyle Williams to be a No. 1 receiver would risk disaster, but he could thrive as a No. 2 if Stefon Diggs stays healthy. DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism, and hopefully Ja'Lynn Polk will see snaps in three- and four-receiver sets. Of the others, is there any trade value at all? Or will teams just laugh and wait for cutdown day? — Adam LaPierre, France Diggs will be your No. 1 receiver. Douglas is well-positioned to be No. 2, for a variety of reasons, My guess? Boutte is a wild card whose chances of making the roster swing day to day. Bourne and Polk appear to be the favorites to make it, while they try to figure out a way to keep Boutte, Baker, and Chism. (Maybe you can get one of them through to the practice squad, and the others gets a case of the Foxborough Flu and go on IR?) The trade value at the end of that depth chart could very well depend on preseason performance. For example, if Boutte or Baker flash in the joint practice and game against Washington, and the Commanders need depth after a possible Terry McLaurin trade, dealing one of them for a Day 3 pick might be possible.

Patriots' Mack Hollins wore a very different kind of shirt to practice for New England
Patriots' Mack Hollins wore a very different kind of shirt to practice for New England originally appeared on The Sporting News To be clear, no one is surprised that Mack Hollins did something a bit outside of the lines. It's just what the wide receiver does, from AFC East stops in Miami and Buffalo to his latest locale, the New England Patriots. It's still notable, though. Because you haven't seen an NFL player wear a shirt like this to practice before. Hollins' top almost looked like it had been cut into a bunch of pieces. The whole abdomen area was frilly, rather than one connected shirt. Why? The shirt dries quicker and helps him keep his receiver gloves dry. MORE: Lamar Jackson wants Ravens to be an unkindness Have a look: And yes, as usual, Mack is barefoot in that media scrum. That's another one of those things he does. It works because he's an effective, high-energy receiver and sometimes-special teams player. The 31-year old signed with New England this offseason after one campaign in Buffalo. MORE: Commanders' Terry McLaurin facing 'career-ending' scenario With the Bills, Hollins caught a career-high five touchdowns to go with 31 receptions for 378 yards. This is slated to be his eighth NFL season, also including stops in Philadelphia, Vegas and Atlanta in addition to the Dolphins and Bills. Hollins should slot in as a middle-of-the-depth-chart receiver for the Pats and Drake Maye. As long as he catches touchdowns, New England won't much care what sort of antics Hollins wants to break out, because they've gotten him this far.

WR Terry McLaurin reportedly makes move after stalled negotiations
Washington Commanders All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin has reportedly requested a trade after stalled contract negotiations, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. McLaurin is currently in the final year of his contract with the Commanders, and he has been seeking a long-term extension with the team. After holding out from mandatory minicamp, he arrived at training camp as an apparent hold in. FOX Sports' Henry McKenna reported last week that McLaurin was willing to explore every path to a new deal, including asking to be traded. The latter is obviously a last-ditch effort that only widens the growing rift between the two sides. McKenna wrote: "If necessary, McLaurin will explore every option, including a holdout, a hold-in and a trade request, per the source. "Everything will be on the table," the source told me." It's surprising that the Commanders let things escalate to this point considering McLaurin was one of their best players on an improbable NFC Championship run last season. He served as Jayden Daniels' top receiving target with 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. One would think the New England Patriots would be one of many teams calling the Commanders on a potential blockbuster trade for McLaurin. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
