Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta is an obvious choice for the Patriots in this year’s draft for many reasons.
Lauletta has all the intangibles that a team looks for in a quarterback. He was considered to be a team leader and was elected captain twice at Richmond. His father, Joe, was a quarterback at Navy in the 1980s. Throw in former High School lacrosse player for good measure, and on those facts alone, Bill Belichick is already interested.
On the field, Lauletta keeps checking boxes for the Patriots. He’s a fast processor, an accurate passer, has a quick release, and throws with excellent touch and anticipation to the intermediate part of the field.
