Personally, I absolutely LOVE the Drew Allar selection. Talent wise, he possesses every single tool needed to be a franchise caliber starting QB in this league (and a very good one).
• Prototypical QB size standing at 6’5” and weighing just under 240 pounds.
• Throws with incredibly effortless velocity and a spin rate that truly make NFL-caliber windows accessible.
• Incredibly tough and assertive runner that will do the dirty work to pick up those 1st downs on 3rd and manageable. He will not hesitate to lower his shoulder into anybody and will do so without flinching. This kid is tough as nails, man.
• Tactical ability to manipulate his arm and throwing motion to make throws dependent upon the rush lane and stands very tall as pockets begin to collapse.
• Possesses a very quick, yet polished release for a QB of his size.
Areas that need to be cleaned up:
• Short yardage ball placement accuracy (screens, quick slants, etc.).
• Footwork; when his lower half deviates away from pressure he becomes a flat-footed thrower.
• Field processing and post snap reads; he needs to more comfortably go through his progressions especially when the first read isn’t available.
My consensus is this:
There is absolutely nobody else I’d want developing him other than Mike McCarthy. I truly believe Drew Allar fell to the perfect organization. If Aaron Rodgers does come back, it would be the best thing for him. Regardless, his potential and upside are through the roof.
Reason Patriots fans desperately want to keep their 2027 1st so bad is because they know they might suck.
Their QB was horrendous in the playoffs and their cupcake schedule wont help them out again.
Could be a very, very valuable pick.

Patriots only move at WR so far was overpay for Doubs. They didn't draft a single WR.
All of their chips are on trading for AJ Brown. A very fragile situation for their entire offensive future.
Howie has a chance to do the funniest thing and trade him somewhere else.
