Pats to Bring in QB McGee

As mentioned in a post last week, the Patriots could very well look to the draft for another quarterback after trading Matt Cassel to Kansas City earlier this offseason.  The team is set to bring in Texas A&M signal caller Stephen McGee for a visit and the former Aggie looks like he could be a good fit for the Pats.  McGee spent much of his senior season injured, but definitely has NFL-caliber talent.  The team currently has second-year man Kevin O’Connell slated behind Tom Brady on the depth chart, with Matt Gutierrez also on the roster.

McGee seems like a good fit for the Patriots.  He’s a definite second-day pick, most likely obtainable in the fifth round or later.  This blogger has heard some praise being thrown McGee’s way by draft experts like Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay.  His value is deflated thanks to an injury-plagued senior season and could be a steal in the late rounds.  We’ve seen how well the Patriots evaluate quarterbacks in the late rounds, ala Brady and Cassel, and McGee could be their next steal.  I’m not saying that he’s the next Tom Brady, or even the next Matt Cassel, but McGee must have something going for him if the Patriots are ready to use an official visit on him, of which they only have 30.
