The New England Patriots are rumored to be in the market for a quarterback in the 2021 Draft, but they might need to jump through some hoops in order to put themselves in position to select one of the top five prospects.
After all, they’re slated with the No. 15 overall pick.
By that point, each one of Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, Mac Jones and Trey Lance are widely expected to be off the board entirely within the first dozen selections, if not earlier.
