The Patriots selected QB Jacoby Brissett with the 91st pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.  He becomes the 3rd QB drafted by New England in the past 6 years.  Ryan Mallett attempted 4 passes for the Pats, while Jimmy Garoppolo has chucked it 31 times through his first 2 seasons.  Brissett started his college career at Florida before transferring to North Carolina State, where he completed 59.9% of his passes with 43 TDs and 11 INTs.  He possesses prototypical size at 6'4, 231 pounds and has an NFL-caliber arm.  Brissett will sit behind Garoppolo and, of course, Tom Brady this season.  But he could eventually push Garoppolo for the right to be Brady's heir apparent.
