As I have said before (in slightly modified form), there is an incontrovertible fact:
He wasn't. But I am. Would have had picks 3, 6, 37, 47, 68, 70 this year, and an excellent chance at 2 picks in the top 3 in the top 3 rounds next year.
Given a free choice, I would choose JD for the reasons you give. The only reservation might pertain to your "Finished product" remark. Many who prefer Maye will cite his "upside," thinking that once Maye, who has clearly not yet reached his full potential, ("unfinished" in that sense) will be the better player once his potential is realized. Maybe he will, and maybe he won't. Others might think of Maye as better suited to the sort of offense presently envisioned for the Pats, but I don't at all think it's a sure thing that the OC/GM combo who promote that offensive approach will necessarily be around in perpetuity, with the prospect that the next offensive regime might adopt an approach better suited to JD's skills. All in all, I'd have taken Daniels, but maybe we should have traded down, accumulating the picks needed to build a decent opportunity for a prospect drafted low last draft or for a high-draft-pick QB to be drafted next year. I remember thinking during the draft when Curran and others advocated that approach that it didn't seem a very exciting prospect compared with drafting your knight in shining armor qb, but it might on reflection have been the smart thing to do. If the overall team were better, the o-line in particular, we might not face as we do now the prospect of having to waste a year of cheap quarterback play.
You don't get to keep # 3 too.
Is anyone happy with the off season spending?
Since he is saying he was told that was the offer right/wrong and truth/lie are the same thing.

Daniels is tall and skinny. 6'4" and 210 pounds. You could see him in street clothes at the Pats v. Commanders preseason game. Daniels is nearly 24 so he is done growing. He has to add 20 or 25 pounds or he will never last in the NFL.
Tell me waht is elite or special about Maye. You can find flaws in any qb.
Age and athleticism. He just turned 22 this week. Maye's size gives him a huge advantage over the others. Maye moves and runs well so he is athletic in addition to his size. That creates a higher ceiling than Williams or Daniels. This is easy to understand so I am sure you get it. Not sure why you avoid telling the whole story.
Sam Bam strikes again. You really don't think Maye has any elite skills? Just about every scout would disagree with your take.
Watch Will Howard skyrocket as the Ohio State university wins a national championship.
The reality is that you don’t know if a qb is special until they become special. A special Qb isn’t one who makes cool plays or some great throws, but a special QB is one who understands defenses, competes harder than the other guy, and is at his best when the game is on the line.
No one has ever gone broke betting that OSU will blow the championship.
A few times they have.
Good analysis. Maye is more raw than the other two and why wouldnt he be he literally just turned 22- but his ceiling is much higher. No point hand wringing over the other two anyway Pats had no shot at either.
That’s for you to judge.
