My 3-way plan for the draft based upon what Chicago does at 1:
- If Chicago takes Marvin Harrison Jr at 1: NE drafts Caleb Williams or Drake Maye at 3
- If Chicago takes Caleb Williams or Drake Maye at 1: NE drafts Marvin Harrison Jr, calls Chicago and trades for Justin Fields
- If Chicago is seeking to trade out of the 1st overall pick: NE calls them to trade for the pick (send 3 overall and future 1st rounder); Chicago trading out means they don’t want a QB, and the 3rd pick would still allow them to get MHJ; NE drafts Caleb Williams or Drake Maye at 1
In all of the above scenarios, NE additionally trades up from the 2nd round to the mid-1st for a tackle. Paired with a Pittman Jr or Higgins free agency signing, they will have their LT, QB and WR issues solved to various degrees depending on the outcome.
