Jerod Mayo: Drafting a QB is ‘the priority’ for Patriots, but all options are ‘still open’ with No. 3 pick

Jerod Mayo shared a clue on what the Patriots might do with the No. 3 overall pick.

The Patriots coach told NFL Media’s Steve Wyche that picking a quarterback is a point of focus for the team entering the draft, but they aren’t committing to taking one with the third pick just yet.

“It’s the priority right now,” Mayo said on Sunday. “But with that being said, you have to really be in love with the guy to take him at No. 3. So really all the options are still open for us.”

It’s been heavily speculated that New England will take a quarterback with the third pick since the season ended.
