" The patriots quarterback situation obviously starts with Tom Brady and how he recovers from his injured left knee. Brady's contract runs through 2010. His top backup Kevin O'Connell a third round pick last year. Out of San Diego State signed through 2011. And the third option Matt Gutierrez. Enters the final year of his deal I do think the patriots would like to add a quarterback in this draft if they don't maybe they sign a veteran free agent. So the question is who -- they look to and I think Stephen McGee of Texas an Amazon named to keep on the radar he with a player brought in here to Gillette Stadium. On a pre draft visit has sort of Kevin O'Connell like skills you can see why the patriots would be interested. In Mickey another player and it's intriguing is west Virginia's pat white isn't sort of that standard type quarterback. But you bring him in maybe he played the little receiver. Maybe he helps you in the return game. Maybe there's a wildcat package for him here in New England. Think of Bill Belichick doing some innovative things with pat white offensively. And it's just sort of an intriguing thoughts I do think the patriots would like to add another quarterback it's good business just look at Matt Cassel. In 2005 the patriots selected him in the seventh round they cultivated that asset. Four years later they turned it into a second round draft rights."
