Let’s acknowledge how right the Patriots got it by drafting Mac Jones

COMMENTARY

I have a point wrapped in a hypothetical wrapped in a question for you:

If the NFL decided this morning, six-plus months after it happened, to institute a do-over of the 2021 draft, where would Mac Jones be selected?

(Never mind the semantics or logistics of this exercise, please. Why would the NFL redo the draft? Well, it wouldn’t. It couldn’t. But for these purposes, let’s imagine it’s because Roger Goodell is desperate for a distraction from the league’s assorted public relations disasters. That part, at least, is believable.)

So where does Jones go?
