NFL Rumors: Patriots 'Likely' to Draft Daniels, Maye or McCarthy amid Trade Buzz at 3

Days out from the 2024 NFL draft, the signs continue to point to the New England Patriots holding onto the No. 3 overall pick, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.

Reiss reported the "most likely scenario" is New England selecting LSU's Jayden Daniels, North Carolina's Drake Maye or Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. He added that first-year head coach Jerod Mayo and "some top decision-makers have privately acknowledged that their legacies will be tied to whatever they decide at quarterback."

"So now, barring an unexpected blockbuster trade offer, according to sources, the Patriots will move forward with a plan that has been months in the works — getting a quarterback," Reiss reported.
