Even if the Patriots trade out of the No. 3 spot, they could still pursue a quarterback — potentially even by trying to trade back up.
The are listening and taking calls from teams looking to move up to the third pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, league sources said. Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf is running point but New England president Jonathan Kraft is heavily involved in the decision making, according to those sources. Advertisement Last week, Wolf, the man tapped by owner Robert Kraft to have final say in the Patriots’ front office, was rather blunt in addressing the team’s interest in trading back.
Kraft made that clear at the league meetings last month. So even if the Patriots trade out of the No. 3 spot, they could still pursue a quarterback — potentially even by trying to trade back up for Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. That factor though is why the Pats feel comfortable sticking at No. 3 and picking a quarterback. It would probably take a big offer — “a bag,” as coach Jerod Mayo called it a few weeks ago — to get the Pats to trade back.
