Patriots select top QB prospect in Todd McShay's new 2021 NFL Mock Draft

It's no secret the New England Patriots must find a long-term solution at the quarterback position.

After not having to worry about the quarterback during the 20 years that Tom Brady called Foxboro home, the Patriots offense struggled mightily in the 43-year-old veteran's first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England ranked 30th in passing yards per game, 32nd in passing touchdowns and 27th in QB rating during the 2020 regular season. Neither Cam Newton nor Jarrett Stidham impressed enough to earn a long look in the starting role next season.
