The 2023 season was an absolute nightmare for the Patriots, but there was a favorable argument for the franchise’s worst campaign in decades.
Finishing with a 4-13 record, New England earned the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The franchise’s highest pick since 1993 comes at an opportune time for Robert Kraft and company as they have three quarterbacks.
This is a student with superstar potential in this year’s class. If the Patriots nab one of the signal-callers, the draft has been a real focus as the team has interviewed for its offensive coordinator position.
“The Patriots are third and all indications are they’re going to seriously consider signing a quarterback there,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said on “NFL GameDay.” “In fact, one of the biggest questions when interviewing offensive coordinator candidates is, ‘How do you rate this top quarterback?’ Eventually, they would hire Alex Van Pelt, who would play a huge role in the development of who he would be. the young quarterback is.
The question is, will whoever the Patriots want get them? Pelissero’s question is an interesting one. Because if New England doesn’t know who is in the top three, they could theoretically pull off a successful trade. And there are at least two teams keen to move up.
It’s worth noting that Jonathan Kraft wants the Patriots to use the draft pick on the quarterback, and the longtime team president is heavily influenced by the roster.
