Speaker 1: mailbag and Um sometimes help out Matt Morrell of Patriots Unfiltered.

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: He's always he's always got draft commentary, like throughout the

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: time he's been here, he's got his prospects. So I

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: always go over to him to see a white like

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: that guy Ta. So you guys have heard tease because

26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: he does. He fills in for Matt on occasion as

27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: our producer for Patriots Unfiltered. Today, we're gonna kick things off,

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the logical spot here, We'll start with quarterback. Uh.

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Not a great class of quarterbacks this year in the

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two draft, A lot of question marks at

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: the top. There could be a couple of guys in

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: the first round. There might be nobody in the first round.

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I think there are still some teams like Pittsburgh, like

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: Carolina h maybe a few others that are really still

35
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: searching for that guy. Got take a guy, and the

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: question is do you overdraft a guy? But I'll start

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: with you, Mike, who's the one guy if you had

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to overdraft somebody in the first round, who's the one

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: guy you liked the moment? I think it's pretty clear

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Malik willis Um. You know, I just I think he

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: had a real good cam He had a real good,

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: real good senior Bowl, uh, you know, through the ball

43
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: all in weather down there in Tuscaloosa. When so I think,

44
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, showing that he can do that, but you know,

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: not great. I means he's one of these new guys

46
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: that's athletic. I mean he you know, is a small

47
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: school from Liberty, started at auburn Um, you know, so

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: we lit it up at a small school, and obviously

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: the question is can he make the jump? But I

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: think is athleticism another thing to point out about him,

51
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: just you know, getting caught at the combine, you know,

52
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: given a homeless guy a bunch of stuff, so, you know,

53
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: just things like that. Seems like a good quality leader.

54
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: But I think you're right, Paul, it's is a team

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna overdraft him? Maybe, you know in the teens twenties,

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: that's that's probably Carolina. I think sitting at six, if

57
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: they were to take a quarterback, I think that would

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: be the definition of overdrafting. But Tis, do you agree

59
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: with Mike? Is? It is it Willis? I think Willis

60
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: is the one that stands out and the only other

61
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: person I'd reach for it maybe be Kenny Pickett. Yeah,

62
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: I would take Pickett ahead of Willis, But what are

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Willis? Before I talk about Kenny Pickett?

64
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: A little bit big, He's strong, and he looks like

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: he can command an offense, and he's pretty mobile, which

66
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: is where the league's going now. But then again, do

67
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: you really want to risk a first round pick on

68
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: somebody that you're pretty unsure about? Yeah? No, I mean

69
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: no question. I mean the measurables, you know, the highest

70
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: ceiling I think by far is Willis. I think that

71
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: he has a skill set that most of the other

72
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: guy's darm most of the other guys don't have. I'm

73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: worried about the level of play that he was at

74
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: and when he did get a chance at Liberty to

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: go up against some of the better programs, I don't

76
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: think it was great. But also part of that is,

77
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: you know what he's surrounded by. It's sort of the

78
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: anti Matt Uh. You know, you didn't have a tremendous

79
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: amount of talent around him. But I I the one

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: thing that scares me about Kenny Pickett is just basically

81
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: one year. He had an unbelievable year in twenty one,

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: forty two touchdown seven picks. I think that that kind

83
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: of came out of nowhere, and now everybody's worried about

84
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: the hand size. You know, he's got tiny little Paul hands,

85
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: so you know in the gloves, you know whether or

86
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: not you measure it with you know, wrapping his hand

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: in a different way around the football like doing it them. Yeah,

88
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: there's some different, uh thing. I think Kenny Pickett is

89
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: a safer pick. I agree with you guys that Willis

90
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: has the higher up sta. I mean, I just think

91
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: the thirty eight career fumbles lost twenty six, that's that's

92
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: the hand size concern. That's that's legitimate. But but you're right,

93
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: you know it was there for a while, exploded his

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: senior year. He does he does ask them upside. I

95
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: think it's, you know, you get so caught up in

96
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the minutia of hand size and forty time and all

97
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: those different things. But I do think he's a good

98
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: football player. You know, if he he seems like a

99
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steeler guy, right, like he's Pittsburgh went to pit

100
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: like that. That that just seems like a natural fit

101
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: to me for for the obvious reason. But um, you know,

102
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: I think he's another guy, definitely, same kind of range.

103
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: Low first round. Some team needs a quarterback, like Pittsburgh tease.

104
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: The Patriots obviously are not going to be in the

105
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: market early on for a quarterback, you after taking Mac

106
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: Jones last year. So you know, there's there's some other

107
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: guys that are probably Day two picks. Matt Corrall, Desmond Ritter. Uh,

108
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: you know those kinds of guys. But if we go

109
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: a little bit further down the list, the Patriots good

110
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always good business, always quarterbacks. Give me

111
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: a Day three kind of guy that maybe stuck out

112
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: to you, any of these guys you like. Sort of

113
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: as we moved down the list, the only two or

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Carts and Strong from Nevada and Derek King Um. And

115
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: you take Derek King with hoping that he's a receiver

116
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: or another precaution. I tell him, Paul, go ahead, guy,

117
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: he's been his ball, He's been his guy ever since.

118
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Paul compared to Drew Blood. So as a calm he

119
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: was like, well, he barked out, did you see this guy?

120
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: I do like Strong? Um? You know I saw that

121
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: the knee injuries though multiple knee injuries. That said, he

122
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: didn't remind me all that much when I want to

123
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: see it either, I didn't really see it either. I'm like,

124
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: it's not even really that, you know, I always think

125
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: it drew six six, you know, pocket guy and um,

126
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, certainly he's a little more athletic. I think

127
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: this guy is definitely a pocket past everybody. I do.

128
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: I do worry about those injuries too. They said he's

129
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 1: gonna move around like old Philip Rivers. And he's twenty

130
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: two if you're already making that, and therefore he's a

131
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: Day three pick right right, you know, So I agree

132
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: with Teath. I think he probably out of this group,

133
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: had the best skill set. Think he threw the best,

134
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: the best ball. You know, good size six sixty three two,

135
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, two thirty ish, you know, good, good solid

136
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: comes from good stock, ye duce right, I like that.

137
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: So he's a guy. Now. I wanted to bring up

138
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: um Caleb Ellaby from Western Michigan only because we know

139
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: that Joe Judge and was part of a Patriot's contingent

140
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: that was in Kalamazoo about a month ago, and they

141
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: were looking at him. Now there were other guys too.

142
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: There's a receiver that we'll talk about in later podcast,

143
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: Sky more that he threw to a lot like him

144
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: at Western Michigan, but specifically they were looking at Caleb

145
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Ellaby that day. Was there anything that you guys saw

146
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: from him that stuck out? Not really get Okay? So

147
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: this is then with no Caleb Ellaby fans here, This

148
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: feels like a due diligence trip a little bit to me,

149
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, the small guys, But but I like it.

150
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: I just again, to go back to your point, I

151
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: think every year I would select a quarterback at some range,

152
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: even if it was an undrafted guy. Um, I just

153
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: think it's good business to bring guys every year. You

154
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: have Jared Stidham coming into the final year of his deal.

155
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: You did sign Brian Hoyer for a couple of years.

156
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: But how how you know is he really gonna step

157
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: in as a backup. I think he's more of a mentor. Um,

158
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: he could step in. But I just again, I think

159
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: it's just good practice to commune to bring these guys in.

160
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, another guy, just want to bring

161
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: up with Sam Howell from North Carolina, who you know,

162
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: coming into this year, I thought he was getting a

163
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: lot of hype. He was kind of in the back

164
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: of my mind. And then you know, I when I

165
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: really actually watched him, I was not impressed. I kind

166
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: of felt like he was football player, not a quarterback. No,

167
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: he kind of reminded me of like kind of a

168
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of a budget version of of of Cleveland's quarterback.

169
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I've hit their former quarterback. I should put like Baker Mayfield.

170
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: He looked like a like a like a budget version

171
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield, which I know wasn't saying much, but um,

172
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, just saw him at the combine. Didn't really

173
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: look the part. So I think he embodies some of

174
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: what a lot of this class is outside of Willison Pickett.

175
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: And after that, everybody's got some questions. Nobody's got perfect

176
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: side or perfect arm or perfect you know, athleticism. There's

177
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: questions across the board. And I mean, I think if

178
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: if I had to take a chance, I'd probably go

179
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: as strong and you know, hope that that he's healthy

180
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: and that you know, maybe he can be a backup

181
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: for a little while and really get healthy and learn

182
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: the system. I think he kind of fits what they do. Yeah,

183
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: the one guy before we wrapped this one up, I

184
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: would say is Desmond Ridder. For me, I think he'll

185
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: probably get taken a little bit earlier than some of

186
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: these other guys that we're talking about. But if you

187
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: got him, you know, day three, fifth round ish, um.

188
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he'll be around that long,

189
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: but if you did, I think there's something to work with.

190
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: He has good size, he's a good athlete, has a

191
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: good arm, and I think he could probably learn the

192
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: NFL system a little bit. Um. You know, during you know,

193
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: he had good success at Cincinnati. You know he's got

194
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: he got he got stacked team. I mean, it just

195
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: got that into the you know, he got him into

196
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff this year, which obviously is unprecedented.

197
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: No non traditional school, non Power five school has ever

198
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: done that in the short history of it. So he

199
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: was a big part of that. I do think there's

200
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: some upside there. I mean, he'd be a good backup.

201
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I think initially if he wasn't relied upon, um, you know,

202
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. I think there's some some potential.

203
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: But again, I don't think he'll be around. You're talking

204
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: about Sam Howell, Skylar Thompson. These guys, they were they

205
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: were like running back athletes that were asked to play quarterbacks,

206
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, in college and they were gamers, you know,

207
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: like Sam Howell at North Carolina. I mean he had

208
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: a great career there, great college career, nothing to be

209
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: ashamed of. He's not an NFL quarterback, I don't think.

210
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: But now the last guy I'm gonna throw out there

211
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: just because he's local, EJ. Perry from Brown some wide

212
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: ranging opinions. I think the consensus on this show with

213
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: the three of us is um really good athlete free agent. Yeah, well,

214
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: all these guys, I mean yeah, I mean Caleb Ellaby

215
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: is a free agent. I mean, I don't think any

216
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: of these guys are going to get drafted. You might

217
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: only have five or six quarterbacks even selected. It's crazy

218
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: and you're just happy that you got one last year

219
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: and the Patriots aren't sitting in a position. Think there

220
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: were five in the top fifteen picks, and I don't

221
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: think anybody would be bat an eyelash if there were

222
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: only five taken total this year. Right. Well, um, I

223
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: mean I've I've seen a bunch of DJ Perry. This

224
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: is what's kind of funny. Going to the combine. I

225
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: talked to him, wrote an article about him there, went

226
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: out to Holy Cross his pro day. He was there throwing. Um.

227
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a small guy, and I know

228
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: he's athletic and um, you know, I don't really see

229
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver comp. He doesn't really seem like that guy.

230
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: But he does seem focused on, you know, getting into

231
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: a camp. I think he understands where he's at. He's

232
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: getting a lot of support locally. Matt Hasselbeck came out

233
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: to the pro day for him and you know, just

234
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: getting a chance. I mean, he he's literally the only

235
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: quarterback I've seen throw the ball in person. He threw

236
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the ball, did a bunch of drills, Um it got there.

237
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't always pretty. Um, So you know, I think

238
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: I think he's probably kind of guy that that that

239
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: I agree, signs with somebody and and gets a camping

240
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: and listening to him talk, I think he understands that

241
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: he's a good athlete. He'll get in camp with somebody,

242
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, I happen to know the family a little

243
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: bit is up my way from andover, So I wish

244
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: him well, but I yeah, I don't really see the

245
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: NFL future. I know a lot of people will convince

246
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: he'll be the next Ivy League quarter hasn't been an

247
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: IVY League quarterback drafted since Ryan Fitzpatrick. A lot of

248
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: people are predicting he will be the next one. I

249
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: don't think you will. So that's going to wrap up quarterbacks.

250
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: We don't need to spend too much time on a

251
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: position that I think we all agree that Patriots probably

252
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: are not going to be having at the top of

253
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: their priority list. But we're underway. We've kicked it off,
