McCarthy is passing Maye as third best QB according to team’s personnel departments.Just take McCarthy at 3 he's going to be the best out of all the QBs from 2024.
If he is even there at 3....
Assuming Williams goes #1, the Pats are guaranteed to get one of them if they want them.JJ has an uncapped ceiling him and Maye are the two possible studs at QB in this draft.
I pray we get one of them.
Well, the execs have a better idea of what to believe regarding smoke screens, and if the rumors of the Giants and Vikings loving JJ are true, maybe WASHINGTON wants to be the beneficiary of the panic trades.The rumor from execs at the league meetings today is that Washington now wants JJ at pick 2. Take that for what it’s worth.
Definitely feels like cat & mouse there too. You would assume Minnesota would “learn to love” JJ because they assume he’s definitely available at 3 once Williams and Daniels go 1 and 2. Washington then saying “well, actually, WE love JJ” doesn’t totally work in that case, because then that means Daniels falls to 3, and I think even more teams would be interested in a trade up for a choice or Daniels or Maye at 3 than they would’ve if it was Maye or JJ at 3. (And I like JJ but I don’t think he’s gonna be above Daniels on most of these team’s boards)Well, the execs have a better idea of what to believe regarding smoke screens, and if the rumors of the Giants and Vikings loving JJ are true, maybe WASHINGTON wants to be the beneficiary of the panic trades.

It would be funny if all of these teams are all taking turns hyping up Daniels and McCarthy as their guys but all secretly want Maye.Get your popcorn ready.
I hope we get the QB we have at the top of our board is all I care about.It would be funny if all of these teams are all taking turns hyping up Daniels and McCarthy as their guys but all secretly want Maye.
In the end I think Maye goes at 2 just like the consensus has been all season up until a few weeks ago.
The amount of bs being slung around by unnamed sources is incredible. Makes sense that Washington is trying to naximize potential trade value of their pick by spreading a different rumor each week.JJ has an uncapped ceiling him and Maye are the two possible studs at QB in this draft.

This is what I’m hoping for as wellI hope we get the QB we have at the top of our board is all I care about.
Ha..
I have ultimately decided that I am good with McCarthy at 3. In all likelihood Chicago takes Williams and then Washington takes Maye or Daniels, or Minnesota or another team trades up with Washington and takes Maye or Daniels. Either way, you should be confident McCarthy is there at 3.
If Daniels goes at 2, and you have the option between Maye or McCarthy, I would probably lean towards Maye. McCarthy really needs a full year on the bench, Maye is closer to a finished product but would still benefit from some time on the bench. But McCarthy has also shown the ability to rise to the challenge against the toughest competition so I really like that, Maye did kind of the opposite this year. It would be tough.
If they are putting an emphasis on leadership, which it seems like they are, McCarthy probably gets a big boost over his peers there.
Nope it’s about the team. His wrs and line were better than the others. You have to take that into account when you grade qbs. I don’t knock him for being a great leader, I just take that with a big grain of salt.Daniels won the Unitas Award for Leadership. And he repeatedly brought LSU back in shootouts where their defense was letting teams put up big numbers against them, when it comes to this quality he has to get the edge over the others.
I do like Devin Leary alot as a 6th-UDFA type.Jayden Daniels followed by JJ, Nix and lastly Penix is who I want early. Devin Leary is my late round choice. I see the possibilities with Maye but my gut says he is a bust that will be at best the second coming of Blake Bortles.
