Why an NFL insider believes that it isn’t a ‘lock’ Patriots take a QB with third pick in 2024 NFL Draft

With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a month away, there’s been a growing expectation that the Patriots will take a quarterback with the third overall pick.

However, one NFL insider believes it’s not a certainty that the Patriots wind up standing pat at No. 3 to select a quarterback. The Athletic’s Dianna Russini believes that there’s a case to be made that the Patriots could wait to pursue their quarterback of the future.

“I don’t believe them to be a lock to take a quarterback,” Russini said on FS1’s “The Herd” on Friday.
