The New England Patriots kicked off their 2024 NFL Draft journey with a remarkable start.
Rather than opting for a trade-out strategy in the first round, which has been their pattern in the past, they made a bold move by selecting Drake Maye, widely regarded as the perfect fit for their team.
At 21 years old, hailing from North Carolina, Maye brings a formidable stature of 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, signaling immense potential. Given the historical trajectory of highly drafted quarterbacks, Maye’s entry into the NFL virtually guarantees future Hall of Fame status.
Doubtful? Try naming a single quarterback selected in the top three of the NFL Draft who hasn’t succeeded. It’s a challenge that remains unanswered throughout the annals of NFL history.
Full disclosure: I openly admit my limited expertise in college football. While I enjoy watching it casually, my depth of knowledge pales in comparison to my NFL insights. Consequently, my draft preparations are cursory at best, leaving the in-depth analysis to more qualified experts.
So, I’m approaching the Maye selection from the standpoint of an average fan rather than the pseudo-sportswriter persona I adopt throughout the year. And for those who may be wondering about my take on the Maye pick the moment his name was announced, fear not—I’m here to satisfy your curiosity.
