There’s no way Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots will land one of the top quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft, right?
It would have been an insane thought after the 2021 campaign given Mac Jones had just finished a rookie season in which he led New England to the playoffs and was the runner-up in Offensive Rookie of the Year. But as it currently stands, both because Jones took a step back on the field and because he reportedly irked Belichick with his off-field antics, it doesn’t feel like as much of a stretch.
Well, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein added some fuel to that fire as he projected the Patriots would use the 14th overall pick on Florida product Anthony Richardson. Richardson is viewed as one of the top quarterbacks in the draft class given his eye-popping physical ability.
He has the third-shortest odds on FanDuel Sportsbook to be the No. 1 overall pick at 12-1 behind quarterbacks C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young.
No, it wouldn’t be smart to put down anything of significance purely because of speculation and one mock draft during a time of endless mock drafts. But those 60-1 prices would turn some pizza money into, well, a notable amount of pizza money. For example, a $10 wager would turn into a $610 payout if Belichick and the Patriots selected Richardson.
The Patriots to draft any quarterback with their first pick at 12-1 might be enticing to some, too. There are five positions with shorter odds — cornerback (+250), offensive lineman (+250), wide receiver (+300) and running back (+1000) — than quarterback. But the storylines and speculation undoubtedly make it an interesting bet to consider.
