The NFL Draft is approaching, and one of the most sought-after prospects is North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye. Maye, who is considered to have a similar play style to Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen, is confident in his abilities and believes he can play well into his 30s or even 40s.
The New York Giants, who hold the No. 6 overall pick, are reportedly interested in trading up to select Maye. However, the New England Patriots, who have the No. 3 pick, could potentially thwart the Giants’ plans by taking Maye themselves. The Minnesota Vikings, who have the No. 11 pick, are also rumored to be interested in trading up for Maye, who has ties to both the Giants and Vikings organizations.
Maye recently met with the Giants and was impressed by their coaching staff, particularly head coach Brian Daboll, who previously worked with Tom Brady in New England. Maye said that he would be honored to play for the Giants, who are looking to find a long-term solution at quarterback.
However, the Patriots remain the biggest threat to the Giants’ hopes of landing Maye. If New England selects Maye with the No. 3 pick, the Giants would likely have to trade up to No. 2 to select another quarterback, such as Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy.
The NFL Draft is always unpredictable, and it’s impossible to say for sure where Maye will end up. However, the Giants and Patriots are two teams to watch closely as the draft approaches, as both teams are reportedly interested in trading up to select the talented quarterback.
