For all the talk and hints from coach Jerod Mayo about the new england patriots’ no. 94, see below.
Could they possibly trade it away for the third overall pick in the nfl draft? As the draft is still weeks away, everything is still on the table.
According to espn’s dan graziano, the most recent report claims that the recent buzz about new england’s no. 0 indicates that the city is in need of some attention.
The 3rd pick indicates that they could be a potential trade partner for teams looking to move up the draft board. “the patriots also need a quarterback, but there are people in the league who think they are open to trading the no. 1). According to graziano, the 3rd pick, moving back in the draft, and tackling the quarterback position in free agency are all choices. “if the pats trade that pick, the falcons (moving from the no. 5) are the two teams i’d keep an eye on.”
The vikings (moving from the no. 8 spot) and the 8 spot (moving from the no. 8 spot). If they don’t bring back cousins, the 11th spot is likely to be available by the time new england is up, according to an ESPN insider.
According to recent mock drafts, it is likely that either unc’s drake maye or LSU’s jayden daniels will be available by then, as usc’s caleb williams is the near-constantly predicted no. 1). 1 pick. Although the patriots will certainly need to find their next franchise quarterback this offseason, as neither mac jones nor bailey zappe proved to be long-term solutions this season, a trade down the board suggests they’d consider free agency.
Both the falcons and vikings are likely to trade up to take a quarterback, which could result in three signal-callers being traded off with the top three picks, depending on who is taken by the chicago bears and washington commanders. Given cousins’ expiring contract, a trade with the vikings would be intriguing, considering the patriots’ potential to sign a veteran play-caller in free agency.
