It’s no secret that the 2024 NFL Draft is going to be vital in the New England Patriots’ rebuilding efforts, but any uncertainty main into the match already appears to be dissipating.
The Patriots reportedly understand what they’d like to do.
Karen Guregian, Mark Daniels and Chris Mason of MassLive, citing sources, claim New England is “zeroing in” on a precise layout that will reshape the QB room at One Patriot Place.
The Patriots, in accordance to Guregian, Daniels and Mason, are planning to choose a quarterback with the No. 3 pick out in the draft. They also intend on signing a veteran free agent signal-caller, too, as the organisation is in “no rush” to begin a rookie immediately. That would go away Mac Jones on the outdoor searching in, which leads us to step three of the plan. New England would exchange Jones this offseason, which has been expected, if everything fell into place.
New England has a range of preferences at this point to fill out their depth chart, as it’s broadly predicted that either North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye or LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels will be selected 1/3 overall. The Patriots met with each potentialities at the combine, and all signs and symptoms point to the first three alternatives of the draft being QBs.
Joe Flacco and Jacoby Brissett are two names noted as achievable matches for the Patriots, as they every worked with members of New England’s cutting-edge offensive coaching team of workers for the duration of their time with the Cleveland Browns.
If the Patriots determined to begin a veteran and take a seat their rookie, it would fall beneath a comparable strategy to that of the Green Bay Packers — whom director of scouting Eliot Wolf spent the majority of his early profession with.
It’s all lining up flawlessly for New England, but some thing may want to change over the next two months to throw a wrench in its plans.
