ROUND PREDICTION: 1st Round (#3 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: New England Patriots
DRAFT ANALYSIS: A lot of the chatter has been that New England is going to stay in their draft slot and take a QB, but just because the pick hasn't been dealt yet doesn't mean they won't be interested come draft night. The Patriots front office is doing their due diligence on every quarterback in this class, but what if their guy isn't there at this pick? Could they trade down? It's obvious that Minnesota wants to come up, but I'd add Denver, Las Vegas, and even potentially the New York Giants to that list. Might they get an offer from someone that they simply can't refuse? Not at all insinuating it's the most likely outcome, but it's in the range of possibilities.
Whichever team ends up picking at #3, it's likely going to be a quarterback. Maye had the most big-time throws in all of college football in 2023: 34 per PFF, and has a lot of traits that have wowed scouts everywhere. Maye has all the size and measurables that you want in a signal-caller: 6-foot-4, 223 lbs, and enough athleticism to make some plays with his legs. Some might argue that Maye had a down year in 2023 compared to the one prior, but his supporting cast and overall talent around him were much worse. He still managed to throw for 3,608 yards to go with 24 TDs to just nine INTs.
