I would honestly consider drafting McCarthy over Maye. New England's situation is just a bunch of question marks.Mike11 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 9:34 am Are we going to actually put some content in here?
I think we have some juicy convos now? Superflex
1.01 Caleb
1.02 Marvin
1.03 Daniels
1.04 Nabers
1.05 Odunze
1.06 Maye
1.07-1.12 Bowers, BTJ, Worthy, Penix, McCarthy, Pearsall, Nix, Legette in some messy order
Difficult draft day decisions:
Nabers vs Odunze (Odunze better QB pairing but very buried)
BTJ vs. Worthy (BTJ maybe more complete and less immediate competition, Worthy massive upside with Mahomes) vs. Bowers (TE premium vs non premium)
JJM vs. Penix (Great cast for both QBs but one you have to wait for his shot, likely the masses will lean JJM)
- Bad skill position talent
- Unproven HC
- Offensive line was brutal last year. New England ranked dead-last in pass-blocking win rate (43%), was 29th in PFF pass-blocking grade, and was 27th in pass-blocking efficiency with the fifth-most sacks allowed in 2023 (35).
- In a really tough division
Minnesota:
- Good skill position players who've played well together
- Shanahan tree head coach
- Solid offensive line with one of the league's premier LTs
- Tough division
Maye is a better talent, but we've seen how crucial situation is for QB outcomes and nothing about New England suggests they're ready to develop one. Maye is going to have to do a lot with less when he plays and we've never seen him be that type of QB. McCarthy is in another situation where he doesn't need to be a conquerer. He just needs to manage the game and play point guard. We've seen him do that before.
