Was Jimmy Garoppolo getting shipped to San Francisco Mason Rudolph’s gain?
Tom Brady may still be playing like he’s in his mid-20s but will be 41 next season, and the Patriots traded both of his backups away in 2017. At some point, they need to identify that heir to the throne again, and the draft is the obvious place to do that.
Someone like Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph would provide the perfect mix of talent and need to sit and learn before he takes the reins. [PFF]
YES PLEASE. Assuming Patriots’ legend Bill Belichick would be around to do any grooming, it’s hard to imagine a better landing spot for No.
