I agree it was a mistake for the Patriots to sign Newton, but I don't know that they ever figured that he was going to be anything more than a stopgap.  Having Newton was not the reason they lacked a credible QB.  There just weren't any credible guys available at a price the Patriots felt they could afford.

Well, they traded Garrapolo even though it was clear he was pretty good player.

That they did.  Garapolo is probably a comparable QB to Mac Jones.  He never going to be a franchise QB, but he's competent in most situations.  Had they kept Garapolo, they would not have had to spend a first round pick on Mac Jones.  He would have been a serviceable starter while they looked for a franchise QB.
