Patriots owner Robert Kraft reveals how he’d use the No. 3 pick in the draft

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is leaving the decision-making to the team, but when asked his opinion on what he would do with the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, he admitted he wants the team to get a quarterback.

“I guess, as a fan, I put my fan hat on and I definitely would, you know, in the end, you can’t win in this league consistently unless you have a first-rate quarterback and a first-rate coach,” said Kraft, when speaking with reporters at the NFL annual meeting.

Quarterback is certainly a position of need for the Patriots.

The organization will have a chance to select a talented signal-collar, as they look to rebuild the entire offensive unit. The Patriots are preparing to meet with LSU’s Jayden Daniels and UNC’s Drake Maye this week, while attending their pro days.

What the Patriots do with the third overall selection may very well define the future of the franchise. It’s clear the owner has a preference, and the Patriots are in a unique position to acquire one of the top-tier talents at the position.
