Every Friday, we will be releasing a Patriots mailbag, so if you have any questions on all things Patriots and the NFL, feel free to ask. You can tweet @sophieewellerr or reply to the weekly mailbag post on the New England Patriot Fan's Facebook page.

Let's get into your questions in this mailbag.

Who would your top pick be for the draft? Would it be better to address the quarterback situation in a draft or add a wide receiver playmaker or offensive tackle. 

The top pick, as of now, is likely going to be a QB. It's rare for a team to pick within the top six, and the chance to upgrade at QB is too hard to pass up. However, if they miss out on quarterback prospects Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, they may face a tough question: Should they potentially overdraft another QB to just get another player in the building, or should they stick it out with Mac Jones and give him a fair shake by surrounding him with capable NFL talent? That will be the question if the two top QBs are off the board. If either is available, I would assume, at this point, they would draft one. – Tanner James

New head coach? 

I'm not sure if you're asking for a list of potential candidates or if I think it's time to move on from Belichick. As for the first part, this is such a unique situation that I have no strong feelings on how Kraft will handle Belichick, but it could be trending in that direction.

As for the second part, Ben Johnson is a name often tossed around. I think Jerod Mayo is a guy that would receive heavy consideration from within, purely based on the fact that he passed on interviewing for head coaching positions last season to remain an assistant coach for the Patriots. You don't do that without some type of insurance, so I am curious to see how that unfolds. – Tanner James

Start the sell off at the trade deadline, ride out the season as it is and use the cap space and draft picks retool, or same old same old.  

I have an entire article that really encompasses my thoughts more in-depth here, but in short, it is time to sell. – Tanner James

Do you think Bill will still have personal control by the deadline if the Patriots are going to sell off pieces? If not, does that truly mean his time in New England is over?

No one is happy with how the season is going and that includes Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. While many might disagree with his decisions, Belichick is known for doing what he thinks is best for the team and that won't change at this point. If I were to speculate, I would say that there might be some conversations had with Kraft prior to any major moves, but otherwise as the head coach and general manager, he will be in control. 

Jeffery Jones 

Why do so many Patriots fans think that Malik Cunningham is the savior for the Patriots offense? 

Based on Mac Jones' performance so far, I think fans (and even some reporters) are just looking for the Patriots to try something new. Cunningham's performance during the preseason got many excited after he was able to provide a spark for the offense. A spark is exactly what the team needs right now and Cunningham's different skill set might be able to do that. Plus he showed promise, so why not give him a chance to keep improving.

After watching this team through six games, what continues to make you excited when it comes to the New England Patriots? 

Seeing the run game actually get going in Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders is one of the things we have all been waiting for this season. While the offensive line continues to be a problem, at least Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott were able to get more touches on the ball and even get some yards.

What are the biggest positive takeaways from the seasons so far?

Despite him going out with a season-ending injury, the positive takeaways from this season so far surround Christian Gonzalez. It's clear that the Patriots have someone on their roster with real potential, having already made quite the impression in just a short time. After recovering, his return next season will be massive for the Patriots defense.
