With the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, virtually everyone expects the New England Patriots to take a quarterback.
With three very good options early in the draft (USC’s Caleb Williams, North Carolina’s Drake May and LSU’s Jayden Daniels), Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has a very strong opinion of who his team wants to look at first. – Round selection. “I like Jayden Daniels,” Bourne said recently on the Patriots Talk Podcast. “I’m a big fan of Jayden Daniels.
