Will the Patriots draft a quarterback at No. 3? Jerod Mayo says New England "not dead set" on position

BOSTON – All signs this offseason have pointed toward the New England Patriots drafting a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft. But head coach Jerod Mayo said that may not necessarily be the case.

In an interview with NFL Network, Mayo said quarterback is "the priority right now." But he added the team would have to "be in love" with the player available with the third pick.

Caleb Williams is widely expected to be taken first overall by the Chicago Bears. Washington currently has the No. 2 pick in the draft, and the Commanders are also expected to be in the market for a quarterback.
