Bonus! Undrafted Free Agent QB: C.J. Beathard, Iowa

If Garoppolo is traded, the New England Patriots will need another QB on their roster. Bring in Iowa’s C.J. Beathard. Though he lacks some skill, he comes from a pro-style offense unlike many of his counterparts.

That should allow Beathard to make a smoother transition to the NFL. He’d be third on the depth chart behind Brady and Jacoby Brissett.

Brady would absolutely have an influence on Beathard, and who knows, maybe he’s the next Patriots starter.
