Dolla Bill likes to zig when everybody else zags. I don't see him trading up unless who he wants as his developmental QB is available at picks 10-14. HOF quarterbacks can be found outside the top 10 in the first round and outside the first round:

Stidham is still in the running as the future QB1. If Cam gets his second chance to manage a formerly mediocre offense, then Stidham can't be written off so quickly.
What he needs is competition. My choices would be between Mills and Mond on the second day:

Tom Brady's stats weren't overwhelming at Michigan:

62% career completions with a 32 TD to 17 ratio.
Mond's completion percentage falls just short of the 60% threshold:
- Texas A&M (QB)

His 71 TD to 27 interception ratio is the best of this comparison. However, although his sample size is smallest, Davis Mills completed more than 65% of his passes. His 18 TD to 8 interceptions ratio was better than Brady too:
- Stanford (QB)

Assuming that none of the top 5 are available to the Pats at #15, my gut feeling is that Mills has the potential to be as good as any of them. Mills also has more yards per attempt than either of them.
