It sounds like the Vikings may be throwing in the towel when it comes to potentially trading up to acquire a quarterback tonight.
Brown had 88 catches for 1496 yards with 11 TDs in 2022. He followed that up with 106 catches for 1456 yards and 7 TDs in 2023.
As for why the Patriots are using valuable time on Penix Jr., it’s entirely possible that he might be their backup plan should another team come to them with an unbelievable offer to move them off that #3 overall spot.
Mitchell is an ascending prospect with the size, length, speed, and athleticism to threaten all three levels (short, intermediate, and long) on the football field. At 6’2, 205, he ran a 4.34 in the 40
Ninkovich believes that the New England Patriots would be better served to target someone who would be more of a threat to the defense, preferably someone who can get outside the pocket and make plays.

This will be an interesting week as two of the top prospects in the draft will be at Gillette Stadium, with each of them potentially visiting ahead of what may be a longer stay with the New England Patriots in the coming years.
Nothing is ever off the table. The Patriots at #3 will get either Daniels or Maye, but in essence, neither is a consolation prize.

While many have wondered if the New New England Patriots might entertain a trade for what Jerod Mayo called ‘a bag’ to get them to move out of that spot, it sounds like it’s going to take a lot for that to happen.
In his Pro Day outing, Drake Maye, settled down and made some long throws that easily went 40-50+ yards with ease.
