#3 Josh Allen DE
#28 Jawaan Taylor T
#32 Gardner Minshew QB

So the old regime, in the opinion of this reporter, drafted three players worthy of the first round. Nice to see that Minshew is valued as he is. Should net us at least a 3rd round pick in a trade. Tongue

What actually happened: Drafted WR N'Keal HarryWhere Minshew was actually picked: No. 178 overall by the Jaguars The New England Patriots entered the 2019 draft on a high note after winning Super Bowl LIII, but the team hasn't been past Wild Card Weekend since. The biggest reason for that is the departure of future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, who signed with the Bucs before the 2020 season. Knowing Brady is on his way out a year later, the Patriots could avoid having a tumultuous season with Cam Newton as their starter by selecting a quarterback. They have a handful of options from the 2019 class, including trying to get more out of Dwayne Haskins Jr. than Washington did or bringing along Drew Lock more effectively than the Broncos have.While both would fit the need and still have upside, Gardner Minshew II has been the most productive quarterback not named Kyler Murray from this draft class. The Washington State product was a sixth-rounder—making this the biggest leap up the board of any prospect in the redraft—but performed well across 23 appearances, 20 of them starts, since 2019.Although Jacksonville has only won seven of Minshew's starts, his numbers are respectable. He has completed 501 of 797 passes for 5,530 yards and 37 touchdowns against just 11 interceptions. He struggled with fumbles during his rookie season—coughing it up on 13 occasions—but got that issue under control last year with just five. Despite Minshew's impressive showings, the Jaguars are almost certain to move on from him soon to make way for Trevor Lawrence, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2021 draft. Minshew may end up in New England anyway, but the team would have been better served by drafting him instead of N'Keal Harry at No. 32.

LOVE THEM JAGUARS!
