Jets traded up from 23 to 14, jumping in front of the Patriots, in order to take him. With the Patriots seemingly set on a QB (given Mac was out there), the initial thought was that they were trying to trade ahead of the Cardinals in spot 16 in order to take him.
However, it came out the next day that the Jets were actually trying to jump the Patriots, as they seemed to think they were more interested in Vera-Tucker than they were in Mac.
Would have been an interesting alternative timeline. We wouldn’t have had Barmore in such a scenario.
Patriots: Surprising reports emerge regarding first-round draft plans before Mac Jones
A surprising report regarding the New England Patriots' first-round draft plans suggests they were intrigued by an offensive lineman.musketfire.com
Since your profile tells us you drink the kool-aid I'd expect a stronger take like The Collaboration forced BB to take Mac but he was playing mind games with da Jete to make them think that he wanted Vera-Tucker, but in fact all along he wanted Cole Strange. Bill plays chess in three dimensions, the rest play checkers in one.
