Patriots’ firm stance on taking QB No. 3

Wolf didn’t give too much of a breakdown of the quarterbacks the team has met with. But he shared what’s impressed him among the group of quarterbacks, which also includes Bo Nix.

“Hearing how impressive they are as teammates, as people, as leaders, I think it’s a unique year,” Wolf said. “I’d say that’s been impressive with all six of these quarterbacks that are kind of the top guys.”

What Eliot Wolf, Patriots are looking for in meetings with quarterbacks

Other than the fact that the Patriots hosted those quarterbacks on visits, not many other details about those meetings are known (except for a couple reported dinners).

Considering the magnitude of the No. 3 pick, you would imagine that the team’s top decision-makers would do more than their due diligence with each quarterback prospect. Wolf seemed to confirm that being the case, sharing what some of those meetings have looked like.

“Get to know everyone. See how they react around the coaches, around support staff and scouting assistants are a big part of it and taking them around,” Wolf said. “You know, we do a medical. They meet with the coaching staff and they go through an install and walkthrough. Really kind of get a feel for them as much as they’re getting a feel for us in our building. It’s valuable.

“Obviously, everyone has the film for their careers that they can watch and evaluate. Getting them in our situation and seeing how they react is the valuable part of the process.”

We won’t know which quarterback the Patriots like the most yet, but most mock drafts have them selecting Maye or McCarthy with the Washington Commanders drafting Daniels at No. 2.
