Originally posted on Sportsnaut | By Matt Fitzgerald | Last updated 4/17/21 The New England Patriots are widely expected to take a quarterback at some point in the 2021 NFL Draft, and if Trey Lance is the choice, one longtime NFL executive believes the North Dakota State star will prove to be a successful long-term heir to Tom Brady.
Former Philadelphia Eagles president, Cleveland Browns CEO and Atlanta Falcons consultant Joe Banner raved about Lance on social media. Banner suggested Patriots head coach Bill Belichick could make “another run” and also firmly asserted Lance should garner more hype entering the draft:
If Pats trade up for Trey Lance we could be looking at another run for BB. That coach with that QB on a rookie contract for five years would be scary for everyone who isn’t a Pats fan. Joe Banner (@JoeBanner13) April 16, 2021

Darnold has shown very little ability like a first-round pick should have since coming to the New York Jets with the third pick overall in 2018.
Various scouting reports and web analysis has turned up several flaws and one repeated over and over is how his footwork and throwing fundamentals appear off. He s also cited repeatedly for making unwise decisions ending in risky throws into coverage.
Who does this sound like? Hint: He wore a navy and orange jersey with No. 10 on it for the past four seasons.
Pro Football Focus assessment of Darnold s performance is scathing. Sam Monson of PFF wrote .since entering the league at the No. 3 pick back in 2018, Darnold ranks second-to-last in passing grade, second-to-last in uncatchable pass rate on passes thrown beyond the line of scrimmage, fifth-to-last in turnover-worthy play rate and third-to-last in big-time throw rate.
