Right now it seems likely that the Patriots will end up with a top five pick possibly top three and I know everyone is has accepted that the two best quarterbacks are going 1st and 2nd in the draft, but what about Jayden? I must say that I am a LSU fan and definitely biased but it’s possible the Patriots offensive line isn’t going to be fixed in one off season, And it might be beneficial to have easily the most mobile quarterback coming out of college. LSU’s off of line is not particularly great and he’s showing time and time again to have good pocket presence and escapability. I don’t necessarily think he’s better than Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, But I do think he’s a lot closer than what other people think.
I am not suggesting The Patriots use a top three pick on him yet, but if it was possible to trade down, get him and another highly talented player in the first, I think it could be worth it.
Also after the game he just had tonight it’s entirely possible his draft stock continues to rise and he ends up going higher than current projections.
What do you guys think?
A big part of it is that he’s played more seasons. From the perspective of college football as the NFL minor leagues, it’s like comparing a AAA baseball player to a A or AA player. Your expectations are higher.
