is set to be a fascinating event next Thursday through Saturday. The most intriguing position in the first round is going to be quarterback.The New England Patriots have been connected to a quarterback throughout the entire process, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will take one. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler spoke on Sports Center Saturday morning about the Patriots' NFL Draft and their plans for the third overall pick.
"They feel like they're in a great spot. They are prepared to take a quarterback here. They have a high grade on Jayden Daniels if he's available at three . I think they would probably pounce on that and Drake Maye too they're high on. The feeling around the league right now is that Drake Maye would be that pick at number three.
The intriguing part of Fowler's answer is that the Patriots haven't gotten an offer that would have them move off the third overall pick. Is that posturing to the rest of the league to up their offers or something else entirely? With teams like the Minnesota Vikings wanting to move up for a quarterback, those discussions will likely heat up over the next few days.
