According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, the Patriots do not plan on “redshirting” rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Wolfe recently spoke with Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo who told him that while Jacoby Brissett has a leg up on the other quarterbacks because he played under Alex Van Pelt in 2022 in Cleveland, it will still be a competition. The best players will compete to play. Maye will not be “held…
Both Eliot Wolf and Jerod Mayo made it clear last night that there is no timetable for when newly drafted Drake Maye will be the team’s starting quarterback. Listening to the two, it sounds like there is no expectation of Maye playing early. When Mayo was asked when Maye might be ready to start, Mayo actually referenced former coach Bill Belichick when talking about the process of developing players. “I…
The Patriots thought they had their quarterback of the future in Mac Jones after taking him 15th overall in 2021 but after two years of regression, they moved on from him this off-season, trading him to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now comes a new opportunity to truly find Tom Brady’s heir apparent and the next great quarterback in franchise history. It is a good year to be picking at the top…
It’s finally here. The NFL Draft is upon us, and the Patriots are facing their most consequential draft in the past 30-years. Bill Belichick is gone, there is a hole at quarterback and the future of the entire offense is uncertain. With those things in mind, I took a quarterback of the future, several offensive pieces and injected additional youth into an already good defense. Round 1, Pick 3: Drake…
The 2024 quarterback is one of the most highly scrutinized classes in years. After a recent string of classes that have either underachieved or flopped, hopes are high for this group. Now I’m not one for comps but I do think this class reminds me a lot of the 2004 class which featured Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and J.P Losman. Three of the four quarterbacks in that draft…
The NFL Draft is just about two weeks away. The Patriots have the third overall pick and the belief is that they will use that pick on a quarterback. I have spoken to several people around the college game and the NFL in recent weeks just to get a sense on where they stand on Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J McCarthy. Here are some of the notable quotes on……
Courtesy of JEFF SINER, Charlotte Observer The Patriots were once again well represented at Thursday’s pro day at North Carolina. Eliot Wolf, Jerod Mayo, Alex Van Pelt, Matt Groh, Pat Stewart, Alonzo Highsmith, TC McCartney, Ben McAdoo and Matt Evans were all on hand to watch quarterback Drake Maye throw. Maye did not disappoint as he put on a show displaying his signature arm strength. Maye also looked like he……
It is Maye Day for the Patriots as they take the UNC signal caller with the third overall pick. In our second of five mock drafts, we go quarterback with the third overall pick and address the offensive line, wide receiver, edge and cornerback with the picks we have. I also make a trade with the Houston Texans that better positioned the Patriots early on day three. Here is our……
According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, there is “no appetite” within the Patriots organization to trade the number 3 in next month’s NFL Draft. Appearing on NBC Sports Boston on Sunday night, Breer said the Atlanta Falcons attempted to trade into the top three of the draft but were stonewalled by the Bears, Commanders and Patriots. It appears that the Patriots are content standing pat and taking one of the……
The top quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL Draft met with the media this morning in Indianapolis and shared their thoughts on meeting with the different including the Patriots. Here is some of what they had to say. Jayden Daniels on the possibility of being drafted by the Patriots: “Yeah, it would be dope,” Daniels continued: “Obviously, growing up and seeing what Tom Brady did there, six Super Bowls, that’s tough……
