It appears that the New England Patriots are poised to select a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Despite holding the coveted No. 3 pick, the Patriots have reportedly shown no inclination to trade away the top selection. This strongly suggests that they are set on choosing a quarterback with their pick.
Now, the focus shifts to which quarterback the Patriots will choose. North Carolina’s Drake Maye, LSU’s Jayden Daniels, and Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy are all viable options, with each expected to be considered within the top 10 picks this year.

According to insights shared by Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer:
That Vikings trade gives us all a window into where J.J. McCarthy now stands in the eyes of NFL teams. And that’s not to say that they all love him. It is to say that, assuming the Bears, Commanders and Patriots stay put and draft quarterbacks—zero of the three have shown an appetite for trading one of those picks—McCarthy is not just worthy of being, at worst, the fourth QB off the board, but maybe someone worth moving up for.
With Jerod Mayo stepping in as the Patriots’ new head coach, it appears they are poised for a fresh start, potentially including a young quarterback to lead the team into the future.
As for who the Patriots will select, it remains to be seen. However, with their commitment to drafting a quarterback, fans and analysts alike eagerly await the announcement of their decision.
