Can the Patriots afford to wait for a late-round quarterback in the draft?

There is Trevor Lawrence, but he will be long gone. Zach Wilson seems to be headed elsewhere as well. Realistically, there will be only three quarterbacks the New England Patriots have a shot at in this year’s draft — and that is not a given either.

Ohio State’s Justin Fields, North Dakota State’s Trey Lance, and Alabama’s Mac Jones are viewed as possible targets for the Patriots in the first round of the draft, but there is no guarantee they will be in a position to select one of them. QBs will go 1-2-3 with Lawrence, Wilson and one of those three headed to the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers, respectively.
