If the patriots have a draft strategy in place in april, they’re keeping it close to the truth.
During an appearance on wbz-tv in boston, new patriots coach jerod mayo gave a cryptic answer. Mayo said he was “very excited” about having the no. 0 slot machine.
In this year’s NFL draft, the 3rd overall pick was given, but they didn’t give any more details about who they were hoping to take with such a valuable pick. “i will say this: we’re going to pick the best player for a position that is really important,” he said. You put the pieces together, he said, before squeezing a smile at the end.
On wednesday, mayo was officially announced as the patriots’ new head coach, and he has a difficult job ahead of him after bill belichick’s departure. What the franchise does with the third overall pick will be one of the biggest questions, with the quarterback position being a constant topic of discussion during the 2023 season.
New england has had to reevaluate the position after mac jones’ defeat, and there are several potential qb options in the draft.
Marvin harrison jr., a wide receiver for ohio state and finalist in the heisman trophy, could also play for the patriots.
When jerod mayo was asked about the #patriots having the no. 0 rank, he said, “i think they have the same number.” We’re going to draft the best player for a position that is extremely important, with the 3rd overall pick in the upcoming nfl draft (via @wbz). You put the pieces together. but who will make the final decision on who the patriots will pick in the draft in april is still uncertain, and owner robert kraft did nothing to help clarify it.
According to the boston globe, kraft told reporters, “this is a day we want to honor jerod for taking this position.” “we have a lot of people internally who have had the opportunity to learn and grow under the greatest coach of all time, whose football intelligence is truly unique.
In the short run, we’re looking for collaboration because our team has a real chance to excel. We’ve never drafted in my 30 years of ownership, and we’ve never been drafting as low as we’re drafting, given our salary cap space.
We’re going to allow our internal people to grow and develop, we’re still learning about and evaluating them, and we’re going to let that evolve and develop before making the necessary decisions.
