The Patriots face a pivotal decision with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and while owner Robert Kraft might not have direct say in what his team does next month, he’s made clear the direction they should go in.
Head coach Jerod Mayo kept New England’s options open when asked this week at the annual NFL meetings in Orlando, Fla. if the team was willing to trade out of the top three. He also praised Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye, who the Patriots reportedly “don’t love” as a prospect but also is “squarely” on their radar.
