It's difficult to predict what the New England Patriots will do in the 2021 NFL Draft.
They have the No. 15 overall pick in the first round -- their highest selection since 2008 -- but that's probably not high enough to select one of the top five quarterback prospects in this year's class.
If the Patriots want one of those QBs, they probably will need to trade up. Many 2021 NFL Mock Draft projections have the Pats taking a quarterback and nearly all of them include New England trading up to get that player.
The most common quarterback projected to the Patriots in mock drafts is Ohio State's Justin Fields.
