Less than a month to go before the NFL draft. Today we're breaking down the defensive backs.

Chat with Field Yates and the latest Patriots news. Let's do it.

With the 31st pick, the New England Patriots. Welcome everybody to Patriots Draft Countdown,

presented by Bud Light. Easy to drink. Easy to enjoy. Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the New England Patriots.

And, guys, we are just under a month away from the draft. We've been plowing through these shows. They were going to talk a little about the defensive backs. But first, I'll talk a little latest news. Minor bit, Pauly. Josh Dobbs released him. Yeah, I mean, I saw this coming a little bit a couple of weeks ago when they decided to re-up Tommy DeVito, give him a two-year deal, sort of, you know, let him wet his beak a little bit.

That told me that they were comfortable with him as the backup.

Now, I didn't tell you exactly that Dobbs is definitely out, but it did tell me that they thought enough of Tommy DeVito that he could be the main backup. I would expect something down the road, though, guys, in terms of a developmental

guy, whether it's sometime in day three of the draft or sometime soon, but you probably need

another arm to come in. Of course, we already did our quarterback's episode, but we needed a few

of them in that episode. Anybody want to bring back into the... Well, I just, I think it's an interesting conversation of are you going for like a raw ceiling kind of guy that's got some tools, that's got some athleticism, you know, like a guy like Haynes King comes to mind that can maybe, not even just play quarterback,

but maybe do the whole Taysom Hill thing and play a little bit of offensive weapon, let's call it,

receiver.

Or are you really looking for who's going to be Drake May's backup for the next 10 years?

You know, and you're trying to go that route.

But either way, whether it's having a third arm in training camp, an emergency quarterback

come game day, it makes a lot of sense to carry three quarterbacks on the roster even into

the season.

So to only have two quarterbacks under contract right now, there's definitely at least one

more quarterback coming, so maybe even two as a UDFA signing as well to get to four to go into training camp.

Because you don't want to get into a preseason game where you have to play your top two quarterbacks, you know, a lot.

So you're going to have another, at least one more guy.

But I am interested to see which way they go in the draft in terms of are they just looking for that
