Behind the scenes: Patriots draft quarterback Drake Maye in the first round

The New England Patriots had their highest draft pick in three decades, and a full house as they were investing it. Their new-look war room, led by director of scouting Eliot Wolf, was filled to the brim — including a camera crew to capture the action.

The behind-the-scenes video shared on the Patriots’ social media channels on Thursday night captured the moment the team selected North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the third overall selection in the first round. You see college scouting director Camren Williams calling Maye, as well as Wolf, head coach Jerod Mayo, and team owner Robert Kraft addressing him on the phone.
