Did the New England Patriots get it right in this year's draft?
elected to turn to a fresh page this offseason through their selection of UNC QB Drake Maye with their third-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. After a couple of years of suffering through quarterback mishaps and inconsistency, the front office opted to iron out their issues under center by bringing in a welcomed fresh face to lead the charge.
Though, through a hectic draft process, the Patriots ultimately landed on Maye being the guy for the job, and it was probably the best decision to be made all things considered. "The Patriots likely had a king’s ransom of trade packages to choose from to move down from the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They did the right thing by standing pat with their selection, however, and taking their quarterback of the future in Drake Maye. Yes, the roster isn’t good enough around the rookie to truly compete, but if a quarterback-needy team believes a prospect can be a franchise quarterback, you draft them — end of story.
As the Patriots climb back up the mountain to become a competitive team, you have to have the ability to stack up against other elite quarterbacks around the NFL. As Sikkema noted, New England isn't in a position to get back to that level right away, but the choice of Maye effectively brings a much-needed foundational block into the building to eventually return to that prestige.
