The New England Patriots selected Alabama quarterback Mac Jones with the 15th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The pick comes to the surprise of no one. The only surprise is that Jones was available at pick 15. With teams like the Lions, Panthers and Broncos potentially in the market for a quarterback, it was a bit of a shock that picks 4-10 went without a quarterback selected. After Trevor Lawrence went at No. 1, Zach Wilson at No. 2 and Trey Lance at No. 3, the Bears then traded up to pick 11 to get Ohio State's Justin Fields, and then Jones was still there for New England come the 15th overall pick.
