Patriots draft Joe Milton III

“It was just one of those picks where there was too much talent in him to pass that up,” Wolf said of Milton on Adam Schefter's podcast, via MassLive.com. Milton has one of the strongest arms in the NFL, and Wolf said the potential to develop him into an elite passer made him a great sixth-round pick.

The New England Patriots selected Tennessee QB Joe Milton with the No. 193 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Milton spent three seasons at Michigan and three seasons at Tennessee, starting a combined 21 games in his career.

The 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books, with the Patriots making eight selections over three days. For the first time since 1969, New England selected offensive players with their first five picks, starting with quarterback Drake Maye, followed by day-two picks WR Ja'Lynn Polk and OT Caedan Wallace.
