The Draft is always the opposite of what you expected, and the 1st<\/sup> shocker of the night came when the New York Giants passed on a QB at #6 and took Malik Nabers, WR LSU instead. That turned the draft upside down.\u00a0 Then Atlanta, who decided not to sign Bill Belichick as Head Coach, then dropped the bomb by selecting QB Michael Penix from Washington.\u00a0 They had just signed Kirk Cousins in Free Agency, so the 24-year-old Penix, with his multiple shoulder injuries and two ACL surgeries will probably sit behind Cousins for a couple of years.\u00a0 Cousins was completely unaware of the Falcons’ intentions of drafting a QB at #8.<\/p>\n

Follow this up with Denver taking Oregon QB Bo Nix at #12.\u00a0 Sean Payton must think he is the QB whisperer and can make Bo Nix into Drew Brees.<\/p>\n

There were 5 players taken in the 1st<\/sup> round that I considered as reaches.<\/p>\n

Ricky Persall WR Florida<\/p>\n

Xavier Legette WR South Carolina<\/p>\n

Xavier Worthy WR Texas<\/p>\n

Bo Nix QB Oregon<\/p>\n

Michael Penix QB Washington<\/p>\n

That means 5 players dropped to the Patriots who select at #34.<\/p>\n

Drake Maye Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This was the analysis from AJ Schulte.\u00a0 He broke down his Top 100 players and had Drake Maye ranked #4 overall.<\/p>\n

STRENGTHS – NFL size and frame at 6’4, 223 pounds<\/p>\n

Elite arm talent, can hit every imaginable window with plenty of zip<\/p>\n

Very good accuracy to every level of the field<\/p>\n

Very good athleticism, will threaten defenses with his legs<\/p>\n

Very good ability to operate under pressure<\/p>\n

Very good play on time within structure with timing<\/p>\n

and rhythm<\/p>\n

Very good ability out of structure<\/p>\n

WEAKNESS – Average processing post-snap<\/p>\n

Hero-ball over-aggressive tendency to force plays instead of taking layups or throwing the ball away<\/p>\n

Dane Brugler of the Athletic had this to say about Drake Maye in his 2024 NFL Draft Guide \u201cThe Beast\u201d ($$).\u00a0 He had Maye ranked as the #2 QB ahead of Jayden Daniels.<\/p>\n

STRENGTHS: Built well with prototypical size and room to continue filling out \u2026 has a fluid, explosive release with above-average velocity to drive the ball and make every throw on the field \u2026 smartly alters his ball speeds and delivers with loft and touch when needed \u2026 shows a good feel for hot routes and checkdowns \u2026 still a novice in this area but has gotten better using pumps and eye manipulation \u2026 quick feet on three-step drops and when reacting to pocket pressure \u2026 tape is full of dot throws while on the move (sprints, rollouts, etc.) \u2026 agile mover to evade rushers and one of the better third-down scramblers in recent years (accounted for a combined 42 first-down carries on third and fourth downs the past two seasons) \u2026 led North Carolina in rushing in 2022 and understands when to slide and when to use his toughness to finish runs (had 56 rushes of 10-plus yards the last two seasons, second most in the FBS behind only LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels) \u2026 high school and college coaches all speak highly of his leadership role in the locker room and on the field (NFL scout: \u201cConsidering his family\u2019s success, I expected a cocky kid, but he\u2019s real grounded and humble. The \u2018golly-gee\u2019 stuff isn\u2019t an act. He\u2019ll need time before he\u2019s ready to lead an NFL room, but he\u2019ll get there.\u201d) \u2026 benefits from the older brother theory \u2014 he has three highly accomplished and athletic older brothers who pushed him to be the most competitive in the family \u2026 started 26 consecutive games the past two seasons and finished with a 17-9 record as a starter \u2026 set the school records for completions (342) and passing yards (4,321) in a single season and leaves Chapel Hill ranked top five in program history in total offense (9,227), passing touchdowns (63), 300-yard passing games (12) and passing yards (8,018). WEAKNESSES: Plays with reckless tendencies and still learning the throws he should and shouldn\u2019t make \u2026 generally, his accuracy is above average, but his arm gets juiced up and he will miss some layups \u2026 needs to reel back some bad habits in the pocket like excessive bouncing on his feet or fading away from throws \u2026 needs to take better care of the football and is guilty of panic decisions as he is being sacked, turning a bad play into a catastrophic play \u2026 of his 16 career interceptions, 12 came in the second half \u2026 responsible for 10 fumbles over the past two seasons \u2026 two of his most inconsistent performances in college came in the final two games he played (at Clemson and at NC State in 2023).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is what Bill Belichick said on TV last night during the Pat McAfee Draft Spectacular broadcast.\u00a0 He was not very complimentary of Darke Maye.\u00a0 He si going to need a couple of years.\u00a0 These quotes were provided by Mass Live\u2019s Nick O\u2019Malley.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrake Maye, his footwork needs a lot of work. You can see here, he\u2019s just all over the place, never resets his feet, never really gets in position to throw, gets stripped sack. Too much hopping around. Just step up and throw.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…With Maye and (Caleb) Williams, you have two guys who are really talented. … Maye was ACC Player of the Year two years ago, had less of a year this year. I think you see guys who are young, who need a lot of development.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…Those guys have had good, full college careers and I think they\u2019re just ahead of these kids who have a lot of talent. But they really need a couple more years. They\u2019re not getting that in college. They\u2019re getting that in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…He\u2019s gonna need some work in reading defenses, reading coverages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…He\u2019s kinda quick to bail out of the pocket. He\u2019s gonna have to hang in there a little bit longer, I think, and find those receivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…This is a kid who can make all the throws. He just needs to be more consistent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…Transitioning from a college quarterback to a pro quarterback. He just needs some time and experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c…I\u2019d say too quick to scramble and get out of the pocket. Of all of the quarterbacks, he was the lowest-rated in the pocket thrower.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Round 2 and 3 Tonight<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were lots of speculation (or should I say that NBC Sports Boston\u2019s \u201cOn The Clock\u201d Draft Special had lots of time to fill) that the Patriots were engaged with the San Franciso 49ers in trade negotiations for Brandon Aiyuk.\u00a0 SF wants a 2nd<\/sup> round pick for Aiyuk, but the #2 pick in the 2nd<\/sup> round is really like a late 1st<\/sup> round pick.\u00a0 Considering how much the Patriots will have to pay him, that high a pick is not worth it.\u00a0 Perhaps a trade down in the 2nd<\/sup> round can gather additional draft capital.\u00a0 They need both an X Wide Receiver, which Aiyuk fills and a starting Left Tackle.\u00a0 Aiyuk was the #2 rated WR by Pro Football Weekly and he turned 26 in March.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the players that are available that the Patriots might consider in the 2nd<\/sup> Round at #34 and in the 3rd<\/sup> Round #68.<\/p>\n

Strange Not Working Out with Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curious that Eliot Wolf didn\u2019t mention Cole Strange when talking about the Offensive Line in his Pre-Draft press conference.\u00a0 \u00a0Now we find out that he is not working out with the team.\u00a0 Is that lingering effects from his knee injury that plagued him all pre-season and knocked him out for the season late in the year.\u00a0 The Patriot also had BC Guard Christian Mahogany in for a visit as one of their local guys.\u00a0 They have also shown interest in projected late round OG CJ Hanson from Holy Cross.<\/p>\n

Not Sold on Jake Andrews<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Andrews turns 32 before Training Camp begins.\u00a0 This will be his 10th<\/sup> and probably final year as the Patriots starting Center.\u00a0 The former Undrafted Free Agent has made himself into quite the player and leader on this team.\u00a0 However, father time always wins, and the Patriots need to find a replacement.\u00a0 Two players I really like are guards Christian Haynes from Connecticut and guard Nason McCormick of South Dakota State.\u00a0 Haynes worked out at the Senior Bowl at both Center and Guard as did McCormick at the East\/West Shrine game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
