The New England Patriots wisely let the draft board unfold without making any rash decisions about trading up several picks to select a quarterback.
Everybody knows Justin Fields would’ve been the dream pick, but there’s something to be said that the Patriots were able to stay put at No. 15 overall and nab Mac Jones, whom they were heavily linked to over the last few months leading up to draft night.
Unlike some quarterbacks in this year’s class, Jones is said to be capable of starting from the get-go as a rookie.
