The Patriots selected Morton in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 234th overall.
ANALYSIS
Morton (6-foot-2, 218 pounds) struggled as a second- and third-year starter for Texas Tech in 2022 and 2023, and even in his otherwise improved fourth season he strained to move the ball (63.3 percent completed, 7.2 yards per attempt). The positive news is Morton really fixed his touchdown to turnover ratio in that fourth season, throwing 27 touchdowns to eight interceptions. Back to the bad news: Morton is decently athletic (4.89-second pro day 40) yet took enough sacks at the collegiate level that it's reasonable to suspect both that Morton is not a threat to run at the NFL level and that he's not even a candidate to manage pocket pressure especially well. Of course, the Patriots may only view Morton as a viable backup to Drake Maye, but even that might be a hasty expectation.

Potential Day 3 pick
Friday's seven-round mock draft from Chad Reuter of NFL.com has the Rams selecting Morton in the fifth round with the 157th pick.
ANALYSIS
Morton posted 49 touchdowns versus 14 interceptions over his last two years at Texas Tech while throwing for 6,015 yards over that span. The 6-foot-2 quarterback hasn't gotten much pre-draft hype and may wind up undrafted, but Reuter believes Morton could entice a team such as the Rams to select him on Day 3 as a developmental prospect.
