Summary

Patriots are doing their homework on the quarterbacks in this upcoming draft, including a lot of studying up on Louisville’s Lamar Jackson. Phil reports that some teams have had difficulty in reaching Jackson at some points in the process, which is obviously concerning. Also, if Josh Rosen were to start slipping, would the Patriots consider trading up? (10:10) Tom and Phil discuss what the other teams with need at the quarterback position might do this year that effects the Patriots board. (13:30) Phil brings up a theory about whether New England might in fact look to draft two quarterbacks this year. (16:01) Curran asks why the Patriots would even discuss reworking Tom Brady’s contract at this point, because of the term remaining and his age/uncertainty. (20:00) Phil wraps up this episode with some of your draft questions from Twitter.
