Brady’s success and Jones’s failure has a number of Patriot fans thinking you can get a QB anywhere in the draft. And while that is possible, the likelihood of success is much higher in the first round than anywhere else. But what’s left out of that equation is what you surround them with. The emergence of Josh Allen, Joe Burrows, and Tua as playoff QB’s all coincided with giving them All Pro caliber targets to throw to, and even though Mahomes has shown he can get it done even after losing a great WR, he was clearly more dangerous with him. In todays NFL you need to be able to put up a lot of points, and do it quickly when needed, so getting a top QB early in this draft will really help, but they will need to surround them with some explosive weapons if they want them to really succeed.
