The New England Patriots have a need at quarterback, obviously. They brought journeyman Jacoby Brissett, whom they drafted in 2016, back this offseason and into a quarterback room that is now comprised of him, Bailey Zappe and Nathan Rourke.
Fortunately for the Patriots, they have the third overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, which features a class in which three quarterbacks have separated themselves: USC’s Caleb Williams, North Carolina’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels. However, SportsLine’s Jason La Canfora is reporting that “multiple GMs believe New England would prefer to move down this year.”
Why? Well according to La Canfora, it would be so that the team could fill holes at cornerback, wide receiver and defensive tackle and then look to take a quarterback in 2025 when less teams are starving for a new passer.
If the Patriots really are looking to trade down, here are four potential trade partners, what New England could get in return and who it could then take with some of the assets it would get back in a deal. These picks will be made with the idea that the Patriots will wait until next year to take a Round 1 quarterback.
Deal: The Patriots trade their 2024 third overall pick for the Giants’ sixth overall pick, 2024 second-round pick via Seahawks (47th overall), 2024 fourth-round pick (107 overall), 2025 first-round pick
Patriots end up with: LSU WR Malik Nabers
