The Patriots definitely do not need a QB at this point, but with Mallett sliding to the third round, the Patriots decided to pull the trigger on the Arkansas star.
Mallett was likely distraught as he sat there & waited for hours & hours, but he ought to be contempt landing with of the best teams in the NFL. The Patriots have an excellent locker room & ought to be able to keep Mallett under control, & contain his character concerns.
There is no query that Mallett has the talent to be successful, & is similar to Tom Brady coming out of college. Mallett has the potential to be an excellent QB in the NFL, & sitting & learning from Tom Brady is a ideal situation for him.
