Jerod Mayo:

Coming off of Thursday night’s selection of Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Patriots find themselves with a new young signal-caller with plenty of upside as they try and turn things around on offense.

Here’s what Eliot Wolf (EW) and Jerod Mayo (JM) had to say following the selection of Drake Maye by the New England Patriots Thursday night.

Nothing is ever off the table. The Patriots at #3 will get either Daniels or Maye, but in essence, neither is a consolation prize.

In his Pro Day outing, Drake Maye, settled down and made some long throws that easily went 40-50+ yards with ease. 

Head coach Jerod Mayo took some time on Monday to talk to the New England media, addressing a variety of topics as he attempted to provide some “clarity” behind the team’s “strategy” that’s taken place so far this offseason.

Here’s the full transcript from Jerod Mayo’s AFC Coaching Breakfast for Monday, March 25, 2024.

Asking to fill all three (QB,T, WR) via the draft puts too much pressure on the board, They have to fill at least one via free agency. 

With nine days left before March comes to an end, Jerod Mayo and the Patriots still find themselves with some key needs ahead of next month’s NFL Draft.

While the New England Patriots are obviously trying to figure things out at the tackle position heading into free agency and the draft, it’s entirely possible they may actually already have at least one potential solution in-house.

Sitting with the number three overall pick has the Patriots in a position to select much of the top-end quarterback talent heading into April’s draft, but any thoughts of moving back could certainly have a massive ripple effect.

The Wolf Pack – that’s what this new group in the New England Patriots’ front office will be known as.

As it currently stands, Elliot Wolf has been the person most involved as the club began building its coaching staff.  Wolf, who is the lone person in the building with any real contacts outside New England, has seemingly led the way as the club has rounded out its offensive staff.

It was a surprise when Cleveland fired him. The Browns used five different quarterbacks, yet they still finished tenth in scoring in the NFL. 

The Patriots finished off what could be their most significant addition to their coaching staff on Thursday, surprising everyone by hiring former NFL quarterback Alex Van Pelt as their offensive coordinator.
