Quick check in:
1. Who do you want the Pats to take at 3 (first choice)?
2. Who do you want to take at 3 (second choice)?
3. Who do you expect them to take at 3?
4. How do you feel about what they actiually did?
My answers:
1. Drake Maye, without hesition.
2. Trade down.
3. Jayden Daniels (I expect Maye to go at #2).
4. DIsappointed. I really want Maye and I am not sold on Daniels or McCarthy as being worth the #3. I also think trading down is a better option than drafting a WR or T at 3, if the haul is big enough. But I think I'd rather draft the best available WR or T at 3 than draft Daniels or McCarthy. I'm probably grossly underrating Daniels because of the high sack rate under pressure and the reports that he is a straight line runner only, but I think that is who we all draft and I am not thrilled about it.
