The New England Patriots are poised to choose a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. The key inquiry revolves around which of the top four quarterbacks they will pursue, contingent upon availability and their own evaluations.
There are indications hinting at the Patriots’ preferences. Reports from various pro days suggest that there is considerable optimism within the Patriots organization about securing Michigan’s JJ McCarthy with the third pick, as noted by Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda. Moreover, Eliot Wolf, a prominent executive with the Patriots, is reportedly advocating strongly for McCarthy.
The ultimate decision may hinge on the selection made by the Washington Commanders at No. 2. While Caleb Williams is anticipated to be the first pick, there have been connections between the Commanders and both McCarthy and Jayden Daniels. Recent indications suggest a potential leaning towards one of these prospects over the other.
Furthermore, there are emerging reports indicating that Drake Maye could potentially be the fourth quarterback selected, contrary to initial perceptions. McCarthy, on the other hand, has been gaining momentum in terms of hype for several weeks, indicating a growing confidence in his abilities.
