The New England Patriots own the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — and that’s where the real fun could begin.
Of course, the Chicago Bears could trade out of the No. 1 spot if they believe in quarterback Justin Fields. But it’s long been expected that USC quarterback Caleb Williams and North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye will be the first two selections this April, leaving No. 3 as a Day 1 crossroads.
So, who will the Patriots choose in the first round?
They, too, are candidates to trade back, a scenario that could depend on how they view the current QB class and the various holes in their roster.
