SO SAD: Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy announced why he will no longer continue with the team…
Nick Wright of “First Things First” speculates that Prescott might end up with the New England Patriots.
After another year of being irrelevant following Tom Brady’s retirement, New England currently has the third pick. After a fantastic debut season, Mac Jones collapsed severely, and it seemed like no other offensive experiment worked. They will therefore probably select one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL Draft, most likely Drake Maye of UNC, Jayden Daniels of LSU, or J.J. McCarthy of Michigan. They might also switch their attention to Marvin Harrison Jr., a promising receiver prospect, to push the QB further down the field.
Wright is thinking about something different.
“What if the Patriots traded the pick at No. 3, particularly if Drake Maye is there, because then people want it even more because people seem to love him,” Wright said. “Say he’s traded to Minnesota for 11 and 23 and something. Draft a tackle there … draft one of the mini-stud wide receivers in this class at 23, and have the plan be: we’re gonna sign Dak Prescott.”
New head coach Jerod Mayo may not be excited about entering the year with only Jacoby Brissett under center, but the veteran has proven to be capable. If Prescott is a target for 2025, Brissett represents a bridge quarterback to the highest degree and would likely avoid disaster. That may be enough to sell Mayo and the New England faithful on a run for Prescott.
