Drake Maye was dropping DIMES at North Carolina’s Pro Day
Maye is eligible for next year’s NFL Draft and is already regarded as a Top-2 QB.
Many scouts believe Maye could’ve went first overall in this year’s Draft if he was eligible.

That's fair. Nine months early, and before we really know anything, it appears that picking in the top two next April could be a franchise changer.
The feel about these two seems a lot different than, say Lawrence & Wilson at this time in 2020.
Then again, IIRC, in 2014 the hype surrounding Jameis & Mariota was pretty high so it's still 100% a
shoot that either of these guys pan out.

Yeah or Young over Stroud or

Not remotely similar. Mahomes was not the top ranked qb going into that draft.
Yeah this would be more like taking Fields over Trevor

Let me guess....Da Bears.
Don't see any scenario where he's not taken at 2.

How about the scenario where Washington takes Daniels at 2?

Agreed...not saying it will happen, but it could not be easier to see how Maye falls to #3

I really like his throwing motion, so smooth and effortless. I think the right coach can fix his footwork.

I think ultimately Daniels overtakes him for QB2 taken in superflex. Maye will likely still be a 1st rounder, but could fall significantly based on the combine and his landing spot.

Will be a top 3 pick in my opinion. He seems to be the current focus of prospect fatigue and given he's the least spectacular of the top QB's it's understandable, but he has a solid profile, great tools and by all accounts will handle himself well through the draft process in interviews etc.
Lower fantasy ceiling than Daniels and Williams though, which I suspect is where some of the negativity is coming from.

It means nothing until the actual draft…I love all the speculation but we are now approaching the point where internet innuendo starts taking on a life of its own.

Maye train is starting to pick up steam. Lots of talk this week from some knowledgeable guys that he's the true top QB.

2024 NFL mock draft: Why Drake Maye is the man for Chicago, while the top 10 is a run on offense
Nate Tice's second mock draft goes into detail on why Drake Maye is QB1, why the Patriots get their QB (just not Caleb Williams), and why we don't see our first defensive player off the board until well into the first round.

Funny though, others are saying he’s clearly the 3 and the debate for 1 is Caleb vs Daniels. We went through this last year with the “3rd guy” falling to the 2nd.Maye train is starting to pick up steam. Lots of talk this week from some knowledgeable guys that he's the true top QB.

I don’t think any of them fall past 6. But I’d love to be a fly on the wall for Chicago, NE, or Washington.

I have the 2 in my SF. I really don’t know if I’ll walk away with MH jr or Daniels. I don’t think I’d take Maye.

You couldn't be more off on Williams vs Maye.

Is this a data driven opinion or more of a gut feel?

Also, I don't think IHEARTFF meant Maye = Leaf. I took the meaning to be that even with guys like Stroud and Manning, there was doubt as to who was the best QB in the draft that year.

Huh. I thought he meant something to that effect. Usually you don't use two terrible quarterbacks as examples unless you're making a point.
