With the 2024 NFL Draft underway, it’s time to hand out some instant grades, as we’ll do all night for every pick of the first round on Thursday night — you can find our grades here.
But if you’re wondering specifically about your team’s pick and how our Christian D’Andrea and Robert Zeglinski graded them?
You’ve come to the right place. Here’s their take on Drake Maye:
The Commanders overthinking a surefire top quarterback prospect is the greatest gift to Jerod Mayo’s Patriots. Since September, Maye has been the consensus 1QB to Caleb Williams as a draft prospect to most, and for good reason. He’s a tremendous processor, can make every throw in the book and is a flat-out magician with the ball in his hands. It’s so classic Patriots to luck into a potential generational signal-caller in the top-3. If New England can surround him with real receivers, the Patriots can be a championship-caliber team again soon enough.
Grade: A
