After selecting Drake Maye third overall it might've seemed like the Patriots would be all set at the quarterback position for the remainder of the draft. But that wasn't the case, as they used a sixth-round draft pick to take a second QB with Tennessee's Joe Milton.
"Overall, Milton has the physical tools that scream first-round pick, but his passing instincts andability to read the field are undeveloped," writes Dane Brugler in "The Beast". "He is a project quarterback prospect, and some teams believe he will eventually transition to tight end in the NFL (similar path as Logan Thomas)."
It's good to develop quarterbacks in the NFL, but a position change can't be ruled out. Maybe Milton figures it out at quarterback, or maybe he gives the Patriots offense, which has been addressed with all but one draft pick through six rounds, another way to "weaponize."
