The New England Patriots are gearing up for a pivotal NFL Draft, led by executive Eliot Wolf and head coach Jerod Mayo, with the No. 3 pick.
Mayo and owner Robert Kraft had previously hinted at potential trade options for the pick, a sentiment echoed by Wolf, who emphasized the team’s openness to various scenarios, including moving up or down in the draft.
“We’re open to anything,” Wolf stated, highlighting the team’s draft-and-develop approach and the importance of filling roster gaps.
While the Patriots have engaged in preliminary talks with teams eyeing the No. 3 pick, no significant offers have materialized thus far. Wolf emphasized that while a quarterback may not be the sole focus for their first pick, there could be a worthy candidate available at No. 3.
Despite ongoing discussions, Wolf suggested that the team’s decision-makers have a general consensus on their stance regarding the top quarterback prospects.
