I find this discussion about whether the Patriots believe in the QB they take at 3 to be absolutely meaningless.
If they find a trade partner, like the Vikings, this will mean that the Vikings scouts and personnel guys DO BELIEVE in the guy they are trading up for.
Quite frankly, our scouts and personnel guys are the same people who recommended we take Mac Jones.
I have a LOT more faith in the Vikings' people than the Patriots people.
This is why this whole discussion is meaningless. You're trading with someone who believes you're passing on a guy they really really like. At that point, it's just a question of who is better at making those determinations. As fans, we can't say. Obviously the front office should do what they think is best. But the fact you are trading with someone means someone else thinks they are absolutely wrong.
I'm sure the Tampa Bay Bucs would like to revisit the 2020 decision to pass on Josh Allen and to trade the picks to the Bills. They could've had a couple years of Brady to bring along Allen, who wasn't great until after his 2nd yr anyway
