With the #137th selection in Round 4 on Saturday, Bill Belichick addressed another potential need after selecting Western Kentucky quarterback, Bailey Zappe, which certainly caught some people’s attention.
While fans may have had to stop and figure out what that meant for the team, it’s probably safe to say that Jarrett Stidham may have heard that message louder than anyone.
Zappe’s addition essentially puts the process in motion of trying to build quality depth behind starter Mac Jones for the future, with Stidham currently in the final year of his contract heading into 2022. At 37-years old, it’s obvious that Hoyer isn’t the long-term solution they need either, which is why adding Zappe definitely made sense.
