3 reasons why it’s a bad idea for Patriots to draft QB early

The Patriots would be better off sticking with Mac Jones, for now.

A simple report of a last-minute visit between the New England Patriots and University of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis was enough to cause concern for the Patriots’ No. 14 overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft.

Sure, the Patriots have a slew of positions they could potentially address at that spot on the draft board, but quarterback was never thought to be one of them.

Would coach Bill Belichick actually consider moving on from Mac Jones and rebooting the offense with another first-round pick under center?

It’s expected that the Patriots were just doing their due diligence with Levis, but then again, they’ve been a team that hasn’t been afraid to move star players in the past. Here are three reasons why it would be a terrible idea for the Patriots to take another quarterback early in the draft.
