New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo dropped a bombshell 🎤 Sunday, revealing the team is still considering trading its No. 3 NFL Draft pick ahead of the April 25 selection. The move could shake up the league’s offseason strategy as teams scramble for top talent.
Rebuild Mode Activated 🔄
After a dismal 4-13 season in 2023—the worst in the AFC—the Patriots are undergoing a major overhaul. They parted ways with legendary coach Bill Belichick, traded former starting QB Mac Jones to the Jaguars, and signed veteran Jacoby Brissett 🏈 to lead a QB room that includes Bailey Zappe and Nathan Rourke.
Draft Pick Drama 🎯
With the third-overall pick, the Patriots could select a franchise quarterback or leverage the spot for a blockbuster trade. Mayo’s openness to deals signals a focus on long-term strategy 💼: “We want what’s best for the team—today and tomorrow,” he told reporters.
