INDIANAPOLIS - Wanted: a Tom Brady successor.
That’s arguably the most significant mission for the Patriots in the not-so-distant future. The challenging part, however, is twofold.
They seemed to pick the right guy once in Jimmy Garoppolo. Now they have to go back into the draft at some point, and hit a home run again.
Batting .500 isn’t an option when you’re talking about the most important position on the field. They need to get it right one more time.
Then, there’s the timing issue to consider. Is it absolutely necessary to land the Brady heir in this draft?
