Veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer remains under contract as Brady’s backup (returning for a second stint in New England last year after Hoyer’s former team, the 49ers, traded for Brady’s previous backup, Jimmy Garoppolo), but the Patriots at some point need to address the long-term future at that position.
Several of the top remaining quarterback prospects could be drafted by the end of the third round Friday night, including Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph, Washington聽 Richmond’s Kyle Lauletta and Washington聽State’s Luke Falk.

Velasquez took a step back from a strong string of three straight good outings and couldn’t get through Bennie Fowler Jersey the fifth inning, allowing four runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings with six strikeouts and two walks.
