My mind is spinning! Think it might be a stretch to think the Pats would trade Mallet in-season. That would really make it scary if Brady were to ever miss any time and there’s no backup with any experience in the system. I could see Lombardi making a push for Mallett next year, but I doubt he’s giving up a 1st rounder for him. Though I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mallett back as Brady’s backup next season to finish out his contract.
I will be taking a close look at 2nd/3rd/4th round QBs in this year’s draft.
