"I'm playing 10 more years." Tom Brady , who reportedly (via CBS Boston's Scott Zolak) texted that quote to Kurt Warner when Warner asked Brady for his reaction to the Patriots drafting Ryan Mallett.
The only words I could think of to describe Mallett were negative and that's not fair to him. I don't know him. The only way I know of Mallett's character is via the media and I don't think they've been very fair to him. Richard Hill(via SBNation/PatsPulpit.com) , with a fair point about Ryan Mallett that the QB's pre-draft narrative influenced his status -- with the media (and consequently with fans) and in the draft. It fits with the earlier point that with any other team, drafting Mallett is a punchline; once he was Bill Belichick's choice, it flipped the narrative.
Ryan Mallett is the 6th QB drafted by Pats since 2001, which was Tom Brady's 1st year as a starter. None of other 5 QBs are on Pats' roster. ESPN's Adam Schefter(via Twitter) , nodding toward the best analysis from the Pats drafting Mallett last night: That in a year or two or three, this 3rd-round pick gets flipped into a 1st-rounder or high-2nd-rounder.
Pats playing Moneyball with Mallett. Character risks great way to find value. Same w/ injured guys like Bowers. He's like Frank Gore. (SI's Andrew Perloff)

Ryan Mallett is a great choice when Tom Brady is your quarterback. (ESPN's Mike Sando)

Fact of the night. RT @wingoz: Ryan Mallett taken by New England...in the pick they got in the Randy Moss deal. (ESPN's Adam Schefter)
(via Twitter) Various reactions as the Patriots (the Patriots!?) end Ryan Mallet's slide in the third round. Time will reveal more about the intentions of this pick. But wow -- wild stuff.
Ironic thing is, Belichick has just drafted the closest thing to a Bledsoe clone that I think I've ever seen. CSN New England's Tom E. Curran(via Twitter)
Andy Dalton gets to throw passes to A.J. Green in Cincy ... The Bucs ended Da'Quan Bowers free fall at No. 51 overall ... The Lions are quietly winning the draft (so far) ... But the biggest story line? Ryan Mallett has plummeted all the way out of the first TWO rounds. (via Quickish)
