Thursday’s news of Will Levis’ pre-draft visit with the New England Patriots only fueled the drama and speculation surrounding the No. 14 overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft.
Why would a team that could use help in a multitude of other positions on their roster be speaking with a quarterback projected to go in the first round?
On one hand, the Patriots could just be going through the formalities of option weighing ahead of a crucial and potential franchise-altering decision. But there’s also the chance that the team really could be looking into hitting the restart button at quarterback with Levis taking the reins from Jones.
The mere fact that they hosted a visit with Levis is proof that nothing is completely off the table. Here’s what fans are saying about the pre-draft visit on social media.
In no universe do I want the Patriots to draft Will Levis at 14

Will Levis having a top 30 visit with the Patriots today is like having your mom force you to invite that one kid you didn’t want showing up to your birthday party #Patriots #NFLDraft2023

Bill is just doing this in hopes some AFC gets ahead of them and takes him, thus submarining an AFC rival for years to come. This is a chess move, & bill knows Levis is trash.

Don’t matter what QB they have
They’re still getting swept by the Bills— BisonGaming (@BisonGaming3334) April 20, 2023
If this happens I’m done with the Patriots

If that said Anthony Richardson my heart would’ve smiled

Drafting a mid qb to compete with 2 other mid qbs. Sounds like Bill Belichick the patriot way.

will be a nice TE for mac

Don’t want a quarterback (at least this high) Mac is still around and we haven’t seen Zappe’s full potential. Draft one on Saturday to keep the heat but NOT in rounds 1-3!!
— Michael O'Donnell (@Michaeloptv) April 20, 2023
Not surprised! Jones isn’t the answer there and Belichick knows it. Patriots have no chance unless they pick up a different QB.

Yes this is part of the patriots due diligence, The NE Patriots Routinely have in players before the draft that they think will be on another team. We all know Levis isn't going 1 or 2 and probably not 3.
Who picks 4th over all?
who do the patriots play this yr ?— alpasoup (@alpasoup) April 20, 2023
Levis is a bust but sure, NE can have him.
