More and more quarterbacks continue to sneak into the top of most 2018 NFL Mock Drafts and this one is no exception. In our latest mock, we have Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield going to the Redskins at No. 13 and the Patriots getting their replacement for Jimmy Garoppolo by tabbing a QB with the 32nd overall pick. Aside from the usual names – Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson and Mayfield – there does not yet appear to be any QB talent that could fall into the third or fourth round. That will likely change as we get closer to draft, post NFL Combine.
The Patriots would prefer to hold off on drafting a QB until the third or the fourth round (remember that they got Garoppolo in the second round) instead of using a first rounder on a player that would not even get on the field until 2020 or so.
