Let's just say for the sake of argument that (A) he's still available, and (B) whatever your top 3 needs are, BB's addressed them in the first two rounds.

Would you consider using a third rounder on him? I don't think he can be worse than, say, Kevin O'Connell. . . .

I think the big question is what you intend for him to be, if it's simply a backup, it's way too early, if you think that he's a potential heir, then a 3rd round pick isnt so bad.

you don't draft a qb that high until Brady is 2 years from retirement At this point all you do is bring in low round picks develop them and then trade them for higher round picks Brady's draft replacement is still in college. Here's another prediction. Brady's initial replacement is going to be a vet FA not a draft pick, especially a rookie

Yes.

We have a fantastic backup in Hoyer, who should be resigned unless a team were to make a decent trade offer. Cassell was able to prove his value when Brady got hurt. Hoyer has never had that chance, and as such will not command much money in salary in his next contract and teams will not likely offer up much in a trade for him.

Although Dalton maybe a worthy pick in round 3 for some team with a potential need at QB in the not to distant future, I think its a waste of a roster spot for the Patriots and its unlikely that he could be flipped for a higher value draft pick down the road.

I have no problem with a 7th round or UDFA developmental QB on the practice squad.

I voted 'definitely not'. I have nothing against Dalton. But 3rd round is too high for a QB in our case. 3rds are just too valuable to spend on a guy that I hope to God never plays a meaningful down for at least 4 of 5 years. (And by then if he's any good he's gone in free agency)

I threw stuff at my TV when they took O'Connell a few years ago.
