Patriots jump to the lead for Dalton

[Shouldamapads]

Before the FA period, I thought for sure NE was going to be his home. Right now it s in a holding pattern.

This is clearly just a thought of conspiracy, but maybe the NFL did want to leave some drama in the first pick and the Bengals/NE were instructed to wait until the draft to announce? I mean sure the speculation that the Dolphins are after Burrow, but if Dalton is announced traded it holds less suspense that it would be Burrow #1.
