QBs & the draft
Quick hit: Drafting and developing quarterbacks can be good business, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Patriots go that route for the second year in a row. O'Connell is a 2008 third-round draft choice who served as the No. 2 quarterback after Brady's injury last season.

Prospects that could be on the radar in the draft or rookie free agency: Liam Coen (UMass), Brian Hoyer (Michigan State), Tyler Lorenzen (UConn), Stephen McGee (Texas A&M). McGee draws comparisons to O'Connell

Grab a QB in UDFA. Cowboys have not done so bad going that route (Tony Romo, Matt Moore).


But I would not complain if Jerry drafted Stephen McGee on the second day. Just looking for value.

I think Brian Hoyer has the tools to become a good NFL QB. It puzzles me how he never panned out at Michigan State despite having pretty good talent around him. I don't know if it was the coaching or if he's just not very coachable...
