The NFL draft is less than two weeks away. This is one of the most intriguing events of the NFL offseason because it allows teams to add young players to their rosters and fill gaps in various positions.
The quarterback position has been one of the most talked about this offseason, as multiple teams are looking for a new signal-caller.
While assigning a rookie to lead a certain squad does not always work, clubs are becoming increasingly desperate to succeed at the position, and they may have to rely on one of these young players to get the job done.
It appears that the first three teams available—including the New England Patriots, who own the third overall pick—are going to select quarterbacks.
Jeremy Fowler made his predictions for the Patriots based on the information he has gathered thus far during his latest appearance on “Unsportsmanlike Radio.” “From what I’ve heard from others, I believe Maye would have the advantage there.
McCarthy has developed during this process, but most clubs I speak with think he may be the one. “There is smoke,” Fowler affirmed.
According to Fowler, the original talk was on Drake Maye being selected by the Patriots, but J.J. McCarthy has since gained support.
One of the more divisive players in the class is McCarthy, who is regarded by some clubs as a top-5 prospect and by others as a second-round potential.
Regardless of McCarthy’s and Maye’s final destinations, their careers will be widely watched, particularly that of the player who joins the Patriots in an attempt to cover a Tom Brady-sized void.
