With Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, and Jarrett Stidham still a relative unknown, it’s very possible the Patriots will take a quarterback in the NFL Draft.
The Patriots currently have the No. 23 overall pick, three picks in the third round, one in the fourth, four in the sixth, and three in the seventh. Of course it’s also possible the draft, which is scheduled for April 23-25, will be postponed or canceled, but as of Saturday, teams are preparing as though it will happen on time.
There are several paths the Patriots could take, and selecting a quarterback early is an option that’s gaining traction.
