Drake Maye officially declared for the 2024 NFL Draft on Monday. Next stop, New England?
That’s what ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller predicted in his latest mock draft, sending the North Carolina quarterback to the Patriots with the second overall pick.
Miller’s rationale:
Much like Chicago, the Patriots need to start over at quarterback, especially since the entire organization could reset this offseason. Mac Jones’ fifth-year option decision is also coming this offseason, and after he was benched for Bailey Zappe, all signs point toward a new QB1 in New England for 2024.
