Jerod mayo has entered a new era in the patriots, not just as the head coach, but also in the front office, but it hasn’t been announced who new england will replace as the team’s general manager.
Mayo has reportedly reached out to candidates, but it seems that the likelihood of an internal candidate is being boosted with eliot wolf and matt Groh taking over in dual roles. Jeff Howe of the athletic collected data throughout the 2024 senior bowl, and people around the NFL are also curious about the patriots’ general manager plans. Whichever it is, it could have a major effect on whether or not new england takes a quarterback with the third pick in the 2024 nfl draft.
Howe wrote on saturday, “in-house candidates eliot wolf and matt groh have also been considered.” “if it’s wolf who’s the star of the show, expect the patriots to take a long, hard look at signing a left tackle with the no. 1). Pick a 3rd pick for the patriots, and there’s value to the argument that taking one in the first round is more secure than taking a chance on someone with a day 2 or day 3 pick.
However, fans will likely see it as a disappointment if a quarterback isn’t selected with the third pick. Groh, the team’s director of player personnel, told reporters at the senior bowl that the team’s structure hasn’t changed, but that tune could change depending on how the front office is molded.
Howe said the patriots’ gm role isn’t regarded as a bad thing but rather as an opportunity to get the job themselves. Whoever wins the job will carry the responsibility to replace bill belichick and bring new england back to prominence.
