He’s the QB I wanted the most, I’ve been saying it for a long time (if you’ve seen my comments the last 6 months). Many people had him as QB2 in this draft, despite Daniels winning the Heisman. I have nothing against Daniels, I think he’s gonna be an excellent QB. But he is 2 years older and had 2 first round WRs and a great OLine, if Maye had that, his numbers would have been insane too.
I give Wolf credit, he didn’t try to get cute and do something wacky. He stayed strong and did the right thing. So many times Belichick tried to prove he’s the smartest guy in the room, and did something weird or stupid (the last being the Cole Strange debacle).
Now you have to give the kid a chance, you have to give the kid some weapons. He’s not going to play right away most likely. But get some explosive offensive weapons to set him up for success. I would go WR in round 2 and WR or TE in round 3 (I would love to get Ben Sinnott). The best friend of a young QB is a pass catching TE.
I love everything about Maye, the arm strength, the maneuverability in the pocket, the athleticism he shows as a runner (ran for over 1000 yards the last 2 years and 16 rushing tds). He throws well on the run and makes some great off schedule plays. I think he’s a really smart, talented, but humble kid. He truly is a modern athletic QB that you need in the NFL nowadays.
