The New England Patriots opted to stick with the third pick of the draft after many rumors and selected University of North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye.
Despite all the rumors about J.J. McCarthy climbing up the rankings, it always seemed Drake Maye would be the third overall pick.
The question in recent days, though, was which team would take him.
The New England Patriots apparently never got a trade offer they liked, and Maye is headed to Foxborough.
Maye had long been the second-best quarterback of this class behind No. 1 pick Caleb Williams, but Jayden Daniels’ Heisman Trophy season catapulted him over Maye.
