Sitting at No. 3 overall, the New England Patriots have a potentially franchise-altering decision to make: keep the selection to presumably select one of the top quarterbacks available, or trade out to possibly bolster the capital both in 2023 and beyond.
Even if they do trade back, however, the Patriots might not be done manipulating the board to their liking. The team is a potential candidate to move back, before then using its new-found capital to move back up again to take a player — either a quarterback, or somebody able to fill other positions of need like left tackle or wide receiver.
