TL;DR

The Patriots selected Texas Tech QB Behren Morton with the 234th overall pick in Round 7 to back up Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito. Instant grades were mixed (Matt St. Jean: C, Pat Lane: D, Andrew Guindon: C+), commending Morton’s toughness and three-year starter/captain experience while noting limited athleticism and slower processing that could hinder him from making the roster as a developmental backup.
