Patriots’ Method To Scouting High NFL Draft Prospects Feels Odd


It’s a comparatively small mistake within the grand scheme of issues, however somebody most likely ought to have stopped USC, Texas, Alabama and Ohio State from concurrently internet hosting their professional days Wednesday.

It’s making life troublesome for a ton of NFL groups, as they’re pressured to decide on which members of the group they’re sending to every exercise.

The Patriots, particularly, simply determined to ship everybody out to Southern California.

New England may have de facto common supervisor Eliot Wolf, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and quarterbacks coach T.C. McCartney all at USC at present to look at Caleb Williams, in response to Albert Breer of Sports activities Illustrated. Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo is not going to be in attendance however will be a part of that very same group at Michigan, North Carolina and LSU’s professional days.

That may give the Patriots’ prime decision-makers a possibility to look at Williams, J.J. McCarthy, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, the consensus prime 4 quarterbacks within the 2024 NFL Draft.

Is it not a waste of sources sending all these guys to look at Williams, although?

Williams will in all chance be donning a Chicago Bears uniform this upcoming season, as he’s thought to be the long run No. 1 decide within the 2024 NFL Draft. Brendan Rice, the son of Jerry Rice, will likely be catching passes from him and matches the timeline of when New England would possibly decide a wideout in April, certain, however wouldn’t somebody like Wolf or Van Pelt be higher off someplace else watching higher broad receivers or offensive lineman?

Texas has two wideouts, Adonai Mitchell and Xavier Worthy, that would fall into New England’s laps on the No. 34 total choice. The Longhorns even have tight finish Ja’Tavion Sanders, and defensive lineman Byron Murphy II and T’Vondre Sweat, who helped them attain the School Soccer Playoff final season.

Alabama is Alabama, so regardless of the expectation they’re going to dip with out Nick Saban, they’ve nonetheless bought loads of draftable gamers figuring out Wednesday. Wolf and/or Mayo would profit from watching cornerbacks Kool-Assist McKinstry and Terrion Arnold, offensive sort out JC Latham, cross rushers Chris Braswell and Justin Eboigbe, broad receiver Jermaine Burton and working again Jase McClellan amongst others.

Mayo’s whereabouts are unknown Wednesday, so he very effectively may very well be in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Columbus, Ohio or Austin. The Patriots undoubtedly may have illustration in any respect professional days, however come on? It simply doesn’t seem to be the perfect allocation of sources to have three individuals tasked with reshaping the offense all in the identical place. If the Patriots have their eyes on Rice, fellow broad receiver Tahj Washington, working again MarShawn Lloyd and offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston, then all the ability to them.

It might make extra sense to have necessary individuals watching extra worthwhile prospects.
