Experts Believe Drake Maye is the Perfect Quarterback for the Patriots
The New England Patriots are expected to select North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Maye, a two-year starter for the Tar Heels, has all the tools to be a franchise quarterback in the NFL. He has a strong arm, good mobility, and is a natural leader.
Maye is considered to be the best quarterback prospect in this year’s draft, and many experts believe he would be a perfect fit for the Patriots. The Patriots have been looking for a long-term solution at quarterback since Tom Brady left in 2020, and Maye could be the answer.
Colin Cowherd:
“Maye is the guy. He’s got the potential to be a special quarterback. He’s got a strong arm, he’s mobile, and he’s a leader. I think he would be a great fit for the Patriots.”Chad Reuter:
“The Patriots have taken a back seat to Josh Allen and the Bills in the AFC East since Tom Brady’s departure in 2020. So you can’t blame New England if it might want a physical, strong-armed passer like Maye, who can emulate the game of Buffalo’s Pro Bowl passer.”Tom Fornelli:
“Drake Maye remains the No. 2 QB on my board, and while I’ve tinkered with the idea of the Patriots going different directions here in prior mocks, quarterback makes the most sense to me. Maye has plenty of kinks to work through (every rookie QB does), but his upside is sky-high.”Maye is still a bit raw, but he has the potential to be a star. He has all the physical tools and the mental makeup to be a successful quarterback in the NFL. If the Patriots select Maye, they could have their franchise quarterback for the next decade.
