Jerod Mayo

Patriots HC Jerod Mayo said the team is “open to trading” the No. 3 overall pick.

Mayo also said the team is “open to taking the guy [with the No. 3 pick].” The Patriots desperately need a long-term quarterback answer, so it’s hard to imagine them moving off the No. 3 pick, but it sounds like they’re keeping all options on the table. A team like the Broncos or Vikings could be candidates to make a move up, especially with the Vikings holding two 2024 first-round picks, but teams still have more than a month to decide what they’d like to do.
