So the Patriots are apparently sold at QB at pick 3.

Possibly.  They could also be movers if a team wants MH Jr. over AZ (I.E. the Chargers or Giants)

Could still end up landing who's left of Maye/Daniels ahead of ATL, Minny, and DEN

I feel like he could be a low end starter. I’m surprised a team like Minnesota didn’t trade for him as a plan B in case they can’t sign Cousins and can’t get who they want in the draft. 

I think there's a lot to this and honestly, I think that maybe he exposed that Belichick either wasn't the QB whisperer he was supposed to be or that he just lost it along the way. Under better QBing, both Jones and Zappe could possibly be starters, low end ones but starters just the same.

The way their QB is always getting hurt it makes sense to get Jones.

Didn’t he not miss a start from like HS through 55 first NFL starts? I think he just had an unlucky run there at the end last season

You don't sit at #3, just traded you QB and can get one of the top QBs in a super talented class just to move out and take a non-QB.  I mean a spot or two in a move down if you are 100% sure the next team isn't taking a QB, but why take the risk? If they move to #5, they could get leapfrogged because the next several teams after that pick are in the QB market.

I just think the market for MH Jr. is purposely being deflated and there's a bit of movement that could happen for him as much as a QB.

Eh, I think it's lying season in an attempt to get people to look for tea leaves that don't exist.  Unless Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields or Russell Wilson ends up in D.C. or New England, QBs will go 1,2,3.  Bank on it.  Neither of those situations are going to leave the QB question unaddressed.  We all know the Bears are taking a QB.

I saw a report awhile back that the Pats were expected to go with a veteran QB. No clue if that's accurate or not.

Honestly, with three really promising QBs I think they'd be well served to take a shot at one. Or maybe they like someone like Nix or Penix and think they can get him at the top of the 2nd or maybe trade back into the bottom of the 1st.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
