Here Are The Wide Receivers That Patriots Have Met With So Far At NFL Combine
BOSTON (CBS) -- We don't know if the Patriots will spend a high draft pick on a wide receiver. We do know that the team is doing its due diligence at the position.
With all 32 teams in Indianapolis for the combine this week, the Patriots have been busy interviewing wide receivers. Thus far, the following players have confirmed that they have met with the Patriots, either at the combine or elsewhere, this offseason:
Slade Bolden, Alabama
Treylon Burks, Arkansas
Romeo Doubs, Nevada
John Metchie, Alabama
Chris Olave, Ohio State
Kyle Philips, UCLA
Wan'dale Robinson, Kentucky
Jameson Williams, Alabama
UCLA WR Kyle Philips met with the #Patriots at the Shrine Game.

He says he also bumped into Bill Belichick two years ago while writing a midterm paper in the team facility. Belichick was walking the hall, visiting with UCLA coach Chip Kelly. pic.twitter.com/UYAeMzQW63

Nevada receiver Romeo Doubs met with the Patriots at the Senior Bowl and then again here for an informal meeting. Mentions AJ Green as a player after whom he models his game. He won't run at the combine but thinks he'll be in the 4.4s at his pro day. Profiles as an X in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/65FDIGgJtn

Of course, this is information-gathering season. It's possible that none of the receivers end up getting drafted by the Patriots, who own the 21st overall pick in the first round and the 54th overall pick in the second round. Yet given the apparent need on the roster and the clear focus on meeting a number of receiving prospects thus far, it does seem as though the team is working toward adding another weapon for Mac Jones' offense.
