Yeah, I'm not particularly fond of the 2014 Draft's QB crop. If one looks at the group in that light and projects Mallett favorably compared with the potential picks, I can see why rumors abound. That said, I tend to take a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach to matters such as these. Speculation leads to wild innuendo, something I can do without.Rumors are the Pats have rejected second round pick trades in the past. Maybe they are true.
This QB class is weak despite potentially three or four likely to be taken in the first round. If Mallett was a draft prospect this year, he would likely be a first or second rounder. Maybe his stock really hasn't increased, but the QB options for QB starved teams are just that much worse.
Interestingly, Mallett's arm strength would be something Josh Gordon's downfield speed would be seriously advantaged by. If they take Sammy Watkins to pair with Gordon then I could see a deal as such happening.
