Copied! While the San Francisco 49ers brass tries to figure out its next move with regard to Jimmy Garoppolo, the Patriots cant afford to sit around waiting. Perhaps Garoppolo will indeed be traded, maybe even to the Patriots, but until then theres plenty to be done as the draft is approaching quickly at the end of the month.
