Right, but we're talking about 3rd and 4th rounders...and a number of reaches. A number of late round picks also branch out. The Pats have made a lot of selections on QBs over the years since we took Brady and it seems they never really are sold on those picks. But to grab a guy here is a head scratcher. Hey I'm not the GM nor can I say BChick doesn't know what he's doing but it still makes you wonder. My point is, don't you think this guy would have been available in the 4th round or even the 5th (possibly)?
Two things:
1--How many 3rd rounders and on do you really expect to stick on a team that goes 16-0? The Pats had an insane amount of talent. It's hard to break into that.
2--No one is really saying this QB is a huge reach as far as draft slot, it's only confusing because of the Pats taking him. It's doubtful he'd have been there in the 5th round.
