The New England Patriots had options to trade the No. 3 overall pick, right up until several hours before the 2024 NFL draft, but it would have taken "something crazy" to get them to move out of the spot that eventually netted North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback Drake Maye.

Credit the New York Giants for at least trying. They wanted to make it happen in the worst of ways. It just would have taken a "pretty significant" package for the Patriots to even flinch. And by significant, they meant a Ricky Williams-style cupboard of picks.
