The Patriots drafted their quarterback of the future with the third pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in Drake Maye, but ESPN does not foresee immediate success
Giving Maye the time to settle in at the NFL level as well, the Patriots also signed journeyman bridge quarterback to do just that once again: bridge the Patriots from 2021 NFL Draft first rounder Mac Jones to Maye. This is not to say that Maye will not find the field as the starting quarterback as a rookie. ESPN's Mike Clay actually believes Maye will start the vast majority of the games in 2024.
While Clay does think that Maye will eventually take over the starting gig in New England from Brissett, the ESPN analyst does not provide an overly positive outlook for his rookie season. In his, Clay anticipates just over 3,100 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions from Maye in 14 starts. Clay does, however, think that Maye will add another 300 yards and two scores on the ground.
Apr 25, 2024; Detroit, MI, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback Drake Maye is selected as the No. 3 pick of the first round by the New England Patriots during the 2024 NFL Draft at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports / Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots are entering a new era. New head coach, new quarterback, new team. They will be patient with Maye. Afterall, he does have an other-worldly arm and the lower half tools to make plays with his legs when needed as well. Looking at the wide receivers on the roster, Maye also lacks a proven threat to throw the football to with Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk, and Javon Baker leading the way.
It might be slow going for Maye, but I'd still anticipate he outproduces Clay's projections if he does, in fact, start 14 games for the Patriots as a rookie.
