The Patriots seem to be looking ahead at the 2024 NFL draft class entering Week 6 of the 2023-24 season.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, New England is among numerous organizations expected to have scouts on hand in Seattle when the Washington Huskies host the Oregon Ducks on Saturday afternoon.
Both schools feature quarterbacks who are already categorized as top players at their position entering next year’s draft. ESPN’s Mel Kiper placed No. 7 Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. as his fourth-ranked quarterback in his recent 2024 draft rankings. Kiper named No. 8 Oregon’s Bo Nix as his fifth-best quarterback in next year’s class.
