The Pats made some waves in the 6th round with the selection of Michigan QB Tom Brady. Projected by many as a 3rd rounder, the Pats argued that they could not pass him up in the 6th round due to his "value." The last thing the Pats needed on draft day was a 4th quarterback, but perhaps this pick is not as senseless as it first seemed. Brady does not possess the raw physical tools of a Chad Pennington, Tim Couch, or Peyton Manning, but he has shown a knack for leadership and getting the job done in the big games. Playing with all the pressures associated with a big time program, Brady came up huge last season against Notre Dame, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Alabama going a combined 115 of 165. In the Alabama game alone Brady was 34 of 46 for 369 yards and 4 TD’s. He has also shown proficiency in running the hurry up offense. Should this guy be ahead of Frieze and Bishop on the depth chart? No. Should the Pats carry 4 quarterbacks? No. If Brady can stick on the practice squad and perhaps spend a season in Europe, he could emerge as a solid backup behind Bledsoe after Frieze is gone and Bishop is off playing AA baseball someday. With this pick coming in the 6th round, it can hardly be considered a risky one.
