Mac Jones seems pretty gettable for where the Pats are picking. BB seems to like, or at least respect Saban. I think they are close enough to have an honest conversation about the guy, and I think he’s gonna get a good report.
So I guess I think there’s a pretty good chance he’s the next Patriots QB.
I’m tentatively happy about it. We need to be realistic about where we are in the draft, and trading up probably isn’t worth it. I’m hoping Mac falls to us, assuming the other guys go first.
I get the knock on Alabama players. Especially their QBs. I get it. From what it sounds like though listening to interviews, saban seems to have put more emphasis on recruiting that position the past few years. The guy definitely knows what its like to prepare for, play, and win a big game.
But who knows. The Patriots need a QB and I’m trying to be optimistic about reasonable options.
