Rob Gronkowski throws support behind Drake Maye for Patriots in NFL Draft
This morning on the Toucher & Hardy radio program, broadcasting live from the starting line of the 128th Boston Marathon, Rob Gronkowski, serving as the grand marshal of the marathon, shared his thoughts on what the Patriots should do with the 3rd overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
WATCH HERE:
Gronkowski suggested that the Patriots should either choose a quarterback or consider Marvin Harrison Jr. as the best player in the draft if they opt not to select a quarterback. He discussed the possibility of pairing Harrison Jr. with Jacoby Brissett and speculated on the Patriots’ draft strategy, leaning towards them selecting a quarterback. Specifically, Gronkowski mentioned Drake Maye as a potential pick at number three.
TRANSCRIPT:
Hardy: Do you like one at #3 overall for the Patriots?
Rob Gronkowski: Oh yeah, I think the Patriots definitely need to go quarterback. Or if they don’t go quarterback, they need to get Marvin Harrison Jr. I think he’s the best player in the draft. If they don’t go quarterback
Hardy: Would you take him instead? Do that and just put him out there with Jacoby Brissett.
Rob Gronkowski: For Jacoby and then see how it goes. Maybe sign another veteran or take another rookie in the second or third round. But I think they’re going to go quarterback though. I think they’re going to go that direction. I think Drake Maye is going to be the guy that’s going to be available at #3.
