It remains to be seen what the Patriots will do with the No. 3 pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
But New England’s latest additions to Jerod Mayo’s staff might shed some light on what prospect group the Patriots plan on targeting with such coveted draft capital.
The Patriots’ decision to add Alex Van Pelt as their next offensive coordinator gives credence to a scenario where New England adds a blue-chip quarterback prospect in the first round. Not only is Van Pelt a former signal-caller, but he’s served as a quarterbacks coach with the Bills, Buccaneers, Packers, Bengals, and Browns over the years.
