Jerod Mayo seemed to hint a week ago that the patriots would use the no. 00 to defend their stadium.
In the 2024 NFL draft, 3 players were selected to draft a quarterback. Mayo was more vague about the same subject as monday morning, perhaps knowing how those remarks were received.
During a weei appearance, new england’s head coach said, “we’re going to take the best available player for the greatest team need.” “we’re going to do that,” mayo said. the patriots’ biggest challenges then included quarterback, receiver, and offensive line. He also said that not everyone in the front office would agree on how to use the franchise’s highest draft pick since 1993. “i don’t think you can get the whole organization to see it the same,” mayo said. “they may think we need a quarterback, a running back, or a receiver.’ at the same time, there is a lot that goes into those picks.
We’ll look at those players, but we also have a scouting department that is paid to do a lot of that stuff as well. We have to make a decision at the end of the day, and we’re responsible for it.” at third overall, the patriots are guaranteed a chance to draft caleb williams, drake maye, or marvin harrison jr., the consensus top three prospects available in the draft.
Williams and maye are certainly on the hook to solve new england’s quarterback problem, but they could both be off the field by the time new england is up on the clock. would the patriots draft harrison, look for quarterback jayden daniels, or trade back and execute a different tactic? The biggest storyline of new england’s offseason will be how this question is answered.
