After a diastrous 2023 campaign, many expect the New England Patriots to select a new quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Not only were Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe unable to lead the team during Bill Belichick’s final year with the team, but the upcoming class of rookie QBs shows great promise. It would seem like a huge mistake on Jerod Mayo’s part to not use their selection for a rookie signal caller.
However, some talks suggest the Patriots could go the other way. They could pull off a surprising move and use the pick to get another impact player while they chase for an established QB in free agency or the trade market.
New England Patriots will take another impact player – and it may not be QB
Jerod Mayo has went public with his intention to select the next best talent in the draft, and it doesn’t matter which position that player is.
Some may think that it’s just smoke and mirrors so teams wouldn’t have a clear idea on what the New England Patriots would actually do. However, ESPN’s Mike Reiss believes that they could definitely head in another direction with the third pick by fleecing another team that’s itching to get their man:
…Perhaps another team presents the Patriots with a trade offer too good to turn down, providing a chance to parlay one selection into multiple picks for a team that is far from one impact player away from contending.
There are plenty of elite non-QB talent that they could go for with the third pick. Marvin Harrison Jr. will immediately give the New England field generals with a dynamic weapon that could tear up the league. There are also talented tackles they could select to protect their QB.
However, many still believe that the team will choose QB with their selection. As the Mayo era is preparing for its first full NFL season, a QB that can live up to the head coach’s standards may just what the New England Patriots need to be great again.
