When it comes to quarterbacks in the NFL Draft, the top five are really all everyone is talking about, but there are still several others who will be selected.
Jim Nagy, the Reese's Senior Bowl director and former Patriots scout, shared recently that there is "growing buzz" inside the league on Stanford's Davis Mills and Texas A&M's Kellen Mond.
This could be notable relating to the Patriots if they do not end up by landing any of the top five players at the position.
ESPN's Mel Kiper could see Mills being the sixth QB taken overall.
"Was he elite? No. But he has talent. He had a great pro day [throwing in the rain]. All the guys beyond the big five, he may be the next quarterback taken and it will probably be in the second round. He could possibly drop to the third," Kiper said.
NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah noted how Mond has improved over the course of his career.
"I thought he really got better and played well this year, culminating with a great Senior Bowl week where he was MVP of the game," he said. "I like him, and I think he's got a live arm. He can create and extend a little bit. Talking to the guys down there at A&M, they said when they would get on the plane after games he would be standing up in the aisle with [coach] Jimbo Fisher already watching the tape with him, so he was always dialed in, always around the facility."
The NFL Draft will begin April 29.
