FWIW: it's apparently "6 prospects," not 6 QBs.

As others have noted, that is exactly what happens now (fun fact: hospital residents are essentially paid by the government). Even better, prior to the mid-90s, the matching system algorithm favored giving programs their top choices of applicants over giving applicants their top choices of...

Two things: 1. The only rookies who are worse off now than those drafted before 2010 are the very top players. Remember the median NFL player makes about $1M a year and the majority of NFL players do not reach a second contract. 2. Players can refuse to sign with the team that drafts them and...

I think it just means that they do have a preference one way or the other.

It's 10 minutes now.

That said, it's not a given that other options are going to have a better chance of landing a good QB.

Which means the Pats got more. They straight up got a 6 and didn't eat any of his remaining contract.

Older, lefty, not very mobile, and injury prone. What's not to love?

I forgot, somehow PFF also seems to be the runnerup for worst draft, too. [Reminder: when the JEST moved up from 6 to 3 a few years back, they coughed up two seconds that year and one the next.] 9. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (FROM CHICAGO): QB BO NIX, OREGON Projected trade: Giants receive Pick No...

It's been a while, but PFF sneaks in under the wire with possibly the worst draft of all. TRADES: Patriots trade #3 to Denver for #12, #76, and a 2025 first Patriots trade #34 to Pittsburgh for #51, #98, and #119 12. (VIA BRONCOS): QB MICHAEL PENIX JR., WASHINGTON 51. (VIA STEELERS): WR KEON...

TBF, almost everyone who's saying a Pats rookie QB would need to sit is saying that because of the quality of the offensive roster.

Seth W. contributed to it. . . .

Any team that needed a QB and didn't send scouts to multiple games of all the top QBs committed malpractice.

Edelman was definitely a masterwork of player development by the Patriots. This is what he looked like at Kent State:

In Penix's case, for definitions of "viable" including "risky AF."
