As I've said before, they had the certainty that Maye was available and would "only" cost #3. If they trade down, there are no guarantees. And waiting a year or two could put them where the Vikings ended up this year.

Dylan Laube was available. . . .

While I don't completely disagree, the way I see it is Maye was a good bet to take, versus waiting a year (or two) and then having to gamble multiple firsts.

The Pats managed to hide/deal with Matt Light's Crohn's disease for his whole damn career, so I think they can deal with a known diabetic.

Only problem with that is it generally means you're trading down to the start of the third round (or maybe the end of the second).

and they have a backup C in Jake Andrews, too.

Unsurprisingly, the run on offensive players means that the best available players is dominated by defensive players. The highest-ranked OL remaining is 23rd on the list. There are three WRs (Mitchell, McConkey, Coleman) in the top 10, and the #1 overall is Cooper DeJean...

In terms of college careers, maybe.

Cursed graphic.

OK. . . . instant grade time.

Wait till he gets to the punters and longsnappers. :p

Evan Lazar had Maye #1 on his board.

Again, it boils down to a simple fact: They had a 100% chance of being able to choose two of McCarthy, Maye, and Daniels. If they trade down, they'd be going YOLO, with no guarantees at all. [I remember saying a few years back that replacing Brady without a top-10 pick was going to be an...

As Mayo said, they needed a franchise-changing offer. They have the certainty of McCarthy or Maye. If they trade out . . . who knows WTF will happen at QB?

Pats on the clock! Which presumably means commercial break coming up.

Schefter(?) said their top 2 were Daniels and McCarthy.

Per Field Yates (per the broadcast), the Pats' top three needs are QB, OT, and CB.

I hadn't heard that rumor, but ultimately it would still be sheer chaos.
