By all accounts, the New England Patriots hit a home run in the NFL Draft.
However, the success (or lack thereof) of the incoming class will be contingent on whether first-round pick, Alabama star Mac Jones, ends up becoming their franchise quarterback.
There have been conflicting reports questioning whether Jones was the Patriots’ top target all along, but the front office deserves tremendous praise for being able to stay put at No.
