The Patriots hold the 14th overall pick and rumors flew in every direction around New England in April.
A disappointing season for the Patriots' offseason led to an overhaul in the offseason, but reports of the franchise moving on from Mac Jones two years after he was drafted appear to be unfounded.
Chances are that won't be the case, especially with Bill O'Brien in at offensive coordinator and sharing that Alabama connection with Jones.
Rather than using the 14th overall pick to replace Jones, the Patriots could use it to help him take a step forward.
