Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that his team is "100 percent focused on beating the Buffalo Bills," and that securing the No. 1 draft pick isn't his priority.

The New England Patriots kicked off the season with quarterback Jacoby Brissett behind center, moved on to Drake Maye in Week 6 and they could have another swap to end the season. There is no question who the quarterback of the future is, but with no postseason to play for, the team could be sitting Maye for Week 18.

Arguably the most talent-barren roster in the NFL, the Patriots need as high a draft pick as possible if they're to quickly build a decent supporting cast around exciting young quarterback Drake Maye.
