According to a report from MassLive’s Mark Daniels and Karen Guregian, the New England Patriots have indeed fielded trade offers for the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. However, the offers received thus far have been deemed “laughable.”
Speculation abounds regarding whom the Patriots will select with this coveted pick, particularly considering their need for a quarterback. Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels have emerged as frontrunners for the selection. Despite numerous trade proposals from various teams, the Patriots have remained steadfast and have not shown any inclination to trade down.
As per Daniels and Guregian’s report, the offers received thus far fall short of meeting the Patriots’ expectations, and the team is only entertaining “serious” offers. This stance indicates that the organization is committed to making a well-considered decision.
For those advocating for the Patriots to make a selection at No. 3, this development is certainly encouraging. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the team isn’t restricted to drafting a quarterback with the pick; wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is also a viable option.
As the draft approaches, it remains to be seen what course of action the Patriots will take. However, it appears increasingly likely that their draft position will remain unchanged.
