Pete Prisco ranks Drake Maye 61st of the top 100 players of 2026

It is the dead period of the offseason. I am just providing a topic to talk about that isn't a rehash of whether Belichick was responsible of Mac Jones or did Kraft force him to take him.

Credit for the dynasty to Brady or Belichick? Let's discuss.

I agree that 61 is way too low, but Maye would be drafted in the top 5 in large part because of his position and age and not necessarily he is one of the five best players in the league.

I would put him in the top 20. He is in the discussion with the top QBs in the league based on his performance in 2026.

Prisco has Maye as the #9 QB in the league. For the QB rankings I've seen has Maye unanimously in the top 10 so it's not a total swing and a miss IMO. If it was me I'd have Maye at least as QB#6 ahead of Dak, Love and Goff. Burrow and Stafford are too high and so is Lamar. Kermit could be as well, let's see what happens this season.

#2-Stafford
3-Allen
5-Burrow
7-Kermit
10-Lamar
43-Dak
51-Love
57-Goff
61-Maye
63-Herbert
65-Lawrence
69-Daniels
70-Caleb
72-Darnold
75-Purdy
80-Mayfield
84-Hurts
87-Nix

He ranked Daniels at #69 (QB #12) based on potential but he can't do the same for Maye?

Hurts at #84 and AJB at #64 looool. That oughta make Eagles fans even more butthurt than they already are.

If the entire NFL was put into a draft, Maye is a top-10 pick, maybe top-5.

Taking existing contracts into account, arguably he'd be the first pick. Most important position with a cost-controlled contract.
