Leading up to the 2024 NFL draft, rumors swirled suggesting the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings were looking to trade up. In both cases, it was believed they were targeting a quarterback.
After Caleb Williams unsurprisingly went off the board to the Chicago Bears at No. 1 overall, those rumors heated up again. Both the Giants and Vikings reportedly engaged the New England Patriots, who held the No. 3 overall selection.
Despite significant offers allegedly made by each team, New England stood pat and selected North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye.
