ESPN's Mel Kiper highlighted the Patriots' history of taking quarterbacks—they've taken 10 since 2000—and noted that Washington's Jacob Eason could be a target in Round 3.
Eason has the type of big frame and arm strength that might tantalize Bill Belichick, but he's considered more of a developmental project than someone who can step right in and replace Tom Brady.
