When the Patriots signed Jacoby Brissett in mid-March, the widespread expectation for the veteran quarterback was to be a bridge starter in New England or help develop an incoming rookie quarterback.

The Patriots were locked in on drafting Drake Maye, but multiple teams were candidates to trade into the No. 3 pick.
