The general consensus is that the top three quarterback prospects in this year’s draft class are Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels.
As long as the Patriots don’t trade the No. 3 overall pick, one of those players will be available for them to draft.
But, could the Patriots think outside the box and pick another quarterback in that slot?
According to Mike Sando of The Athletic, one NFL GM isn’t ruling out Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy as a possibility for New England.
“One GM whose team already has a franchise quarterback thought McCarthy would be ‘a huge reach’ in this spot,” Sando wrote. “But he conceded New England could make a bold selection with Eliot Wolf running the draft room”
