They are not in love with any options at 3 such as Maye or Daniels. Speaks volumes for a team that desperately needs a QB more so than most teams including the Giants. Been saying it for a while . This group of QBs may be good but they are not sure bets that a team would trade its future to acquire.

Orrrrr it could be just the Patriots being the Patriots and trading back for more picks.
If they are looking for quick success  
Giantimistic : 2/10/2024 1:30 pm : link
Cousins is the way to go.

The worst thing for a new coach would be a failed rookie QB. If they are not sold on the choices, trade down and build the team makes sense.
Does a 2nd rounder

Just because a team needs a QB doesn’t mean they have the same timeline or vision or plan on building a team. Kraft is old and on Jones schedule, he wants to win again before he croaks.

And we go through this every year with QBs. There are no sure bets at QB. But you take a bet sometimes and it pays off immensely, sometimes for the better part of two decades.

Teams have humans as decision makers and nobody can see into future or predict how, when, why, what. It’s all an educated, effort in gambling on organizational structure, health, resources.

Yep and if a team is trading back, that means a QB needy team is trading its future and trading up to draft one. Which makes what Bruner said nonsensical.

Not according to the value chart. It would need to be, say, our higher 2nd rounder plus our 4th rounder.

Done.

They’d still have #3, their 2nd and 3rd rounder.

Maye/Daniels, then edge and WR in whatever order.
NYJ/IND Trade in 2018

For #3, NYJ give up ## 6, 37, 49 and following year’s second round pick.

Absolutely agree with this. But a team that's in the catbird seat like the pats aren't going to just listen to a straight value for value offer. It'll take at least a little bit more

I was going to post something similar.

The words "some people believe" mean next to nothing.
If true  
Jay on the Island : 2/10/2024 2:26 pm : link
Schoen has to make the move unless they like JJ McCarthy just as much as them then they can stand pat at 6 and take the best available QB. It's a guarantee that at least one of Maye or Daniels will be there at 3.
They have so many needs  
UberAlias : 2/10/2024 2:27 pm : link
One of the worst rosters in football. So I get it if they don’t see Drake or Daniels as special.

At the senior bowl it was reported all the talk was about us there an entry point into the top 3. If Pats take calls they are going to have a ton of suitors.

Not just for the QB's but teams that want Marvin Harrison Jr. will want to leap frog the Cardinals who will definitely take him at 4 if he's on the board.
If the patriots get their quarterback in free agency...  
Brown_Hornet : 2/10/2024 2:45 pm : link
... Why wouldn't they just take Harrison jr.

I don't think they are going to trade a slam dunk for the opportunity at a couple of long range jumpers.

The window when it comes to moving up for a QB. Not to mention many teams stopped looking at the chart after the rookie wage scale was implemented.
Jeremiah  
ajr2456 : 2/10/2024 3:42 pm : link
I believe we'll see 4-5 teams look into moving up for a QB over the next few months. Teams aren't excited about next year's QB class.
And there's also this...

"From
@FelgerAndMazz
: "I’ve been told that Jonathan (Kraft) really wants a quarterback. And I think Jerod Mayo is probably leaning in that direction." - Ben Volin (Senior NFL Writer for the Boston Globe)"

Who knows... but I think Patriots are gonna stay and pick QB.

If you were a GM and you were at 3  
Giantimistic : 2/10/2024 4:02 pm : link
or any spot, shouldn’t you do your due diligence and see the cost to trade up for positions in front of you and to trade down and have all that information going into the draft.

What if the player you are targeting stupidly tears their acl in a pickup basketball game before the draft or something stupid.

Be prepared for anything or end up drafting Cedric Jones or Toney.

The first season in 25 without Belichick running the organization, can it really be said “just the Patriots being the Patriots”? Does anyone know they are going to be and their tendencies will be going forward?
#3 could bag us MHJ  
stoneman : 2/10/2024 5:00 pm : link
I'd do it if only 2nd and 4th - they probably want more. My guess is they stay and pick QB, although pick 5 probably gets you the same QB at 3 + picks.

You have your opinion I have mine. If someone is desperate enough they will do anything. If these 3 are top picks like some think then trading out of 3 when you desperately need a QB is nonsensical. People watch the college game see some of these guys dominate against inferior opponents and think they are the greatest thing since slice bread. Someone mentioned Haskins here. Yeah people were in love with him but failed to realize that OSU was head and shoulders above any Big 10 opponent and he had literally a minute to stand in the pocket to throw. When he got to the pros that was exposed. Had no pocket awareness. A lot of these top conferences play no defense and games are like shoot outs. Unless you are a professional scout, watching games on TV and marveling at these guys with over rated statistics is fools gold.

They would sign cousins probably, they wouldn't trade the pick with just Zappe and Jones as their qb options
The problem is they will have no idea

This is true. Teams tend to have much more specific views than the typical fan/media.
