Picks should happen at a pretty good clip today...

I'm thinking if they take a developmental QB, then there's probably not a deal for Mallet...that would be too crowded @ QB.

I don't think a QB precludes a Mallet deal. Any or all of the 3 QBs we have now could be cut if it came down to it (including Fitzpatrick). Fitzpatrick's gauranteed money is not bigger than his salary so it would have no cap ramifications.
It just comes down to if O'Brien actually likes Mallet or if NE is just flooding the media with rumors to try to stir up interest in him. But if a 6th or 7th went for Mallet and a 6th or 7th for any of the available QBs, that is not overly crowded. You would have 2 guys competing for the job and a 3rd low round pick who was destined for the practice squad (or the #3 spot if you fall in love with him in camp and think you can't sneak him by).
