The New England Patriots currently have Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer on their roster for the 2020 season. The franchise could add a 3rd in the NFL draft.
New England is rumored to “love” one of the quarterbacks in the 2020 class, according to Peter King of NBC Sports. A rival GM told him the Patriots “love” Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.
“They love Justin Herbert, but enough to trade up for him?” the GM told King.
New England would have to make significant trades in order to get into the top-10 to select the Oregon quarterback.
“Pats do have 12 picks—second-most in the draft—for ammo, but only one of those comes in the top 85. If they want Herbert, they’d likely have to be willing to part with the 2021 first-rounder in a trove of picks.”
Herbert is projected to go as high as No. 3 overall in the NFL Draft.
The NFL Draft starts on Thursday, April 23.
