Robert Kraft Patriots obviously have to

At some point in the not so distant future, the will be forced to play football games without at quarterback. That might seem hard to believe considering and has shown no signs of slowing down as he obse ses over his diet and lifestyle, but the day is coming when Brady walks away from the game. Even Patriots owner Robert Kraft knows it. At the annual league meetings this week, to prepare for life after Brady as well as a scenario that sees Brady go down with an injury. "I'm Michael Vick Jersey going to put my fan hat on, and obviously at some point we have to,"Kraft said, via ESPN's Mike Rei s. "Not just that, but think what happened in the '08 season when in the first quarter Ron Jaworski Jersey against Kansas City, Tom Brady goes out. How many people would have said that would have led us to an 11-5 season? I put my faith and confidence in Bill Belichick . He knows his responsibilities. Anything can happen, even if Tom comes in and is in tip-top shape. "Part of why the networks pay us the funding they do, and the reason this is the best entertainment product in America, is you don't know -- one play can change a whole season.

It almost certainly won't be Sam Darnold, , Josh Rosen or Baker Mayfield, all of whom are likely top-10 picks. It probably won't be Lamar Jackson, who figures to be off the board by the time the Patriots are on the clock. Reid Sinnett Jersey It could, in theory, be Mason Rudolph, who figures to be taken somewhere in the back half of the first round, but that would likely require the Patriots to use the 31st-overall pick on him, which probably wouldn't be wise given just how many needs this Patriots team has after a ma s exodus Randall Cunningham Jersey in free agency.
