Things happen. I never thought they would trade up for Maye or that the Pats would trade that pick. McCarthy I'm not sure. Time will tell if it was a mistake or not. My issue is that getting a young, new QB is inevitable. The longer they wait to find a franchise QB that can possibly get them deep into the playoffs and/or Super Bowl, the longer we fans have to watch mediocrity. So now that is put off at least another couple of seasons even if they get a rookie QB next year.
