INDIANAPOLIS — Reminder for anyone focused on their team possibly trading up to the NFL Draft’s No. 3 overall pick:
The New England Patriots, who hold that pick, desperately need a quarterback. They need a quarterback as badly as any team in the league.
So if there is a third highly-coveted QB in this class — a player other teams are clamoring to acquire — the Patriots need that player just as much if not more.
Sure, they could go the veteran trade route or make a free agent signing instead — the Justin Fields, Russell Wilson or Tyrod Taylor options, for instance.
