2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots made Maye the third overall pick in this year’s draft, hoping he’s the QB of the future that Mac Jones failed to be. Jones, the 15th overall pick in 2021, flamed out and was traded in March to Jacksonville. The Patriots signed veteran Jacoby Brissett, with whom Maye will compete to start this season. Even if Maye isn’t the Week 1 starter, he likely will be under center at some point this year. At 6-4, 223, Maye has prototypical size for a quarterback, with a strong and talented arm that can both attack defenses deep and slip balls into tight windows. Scouts praised his field vision and anticipation, and he’s an athletic dual-threat who rushed for 1,147 yards and 16 TDs his last two years at North Carolina. Maye is a bit of gun-slinger, prone to an ill-advised pass, and inconsistent mechanics and poor footwork at times hurt his accuracy, especially on routine short throws. But the Patriots have time to develop that while Brissett handles QB duty. The bigger issue is a lack of playmakers to target in the passing game. The WR depth chart is topped by Kendrick Borne, who is coming off an ACL injury, and Demario Douglas, a 2023 sixth-round pick who failed to score last season. Second-round rookie Ja’Lynn Polk might already be the best wide receiver and tight end Hunter Henry could be the No. 2 target. Maye at least gives the Patriots a good start to the post-Bill Belichick era. Read Past Outlooks
Will compete with Brissett
Head coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that Maye and Jacoby Brissett will compete for the Patriots' starting quarterback job in the coming months, Cameron Wolfe of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Maye is no doubt viewed as the team's quarterback of the future, but given his limited experience (just 26 collegiate starts) along with the fact that he doesn't turn 22 years old until August, he could work behind Brissett early on during his professional career. With that in mind, Maye's standing in redraft leagues isn't as high as it is in dynasty formats, but the North Carolina's product's upside is undeniable, given that he has the prototypical size (6-foot-4, 223 pounds), arm talent and mobility of a potential star signal-caller.

Mixed results at rookie minicamp
Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said Saturday that Maye "has a lot to work on," but Maye also drew praise from rookie teammates for his arm strength and command of the huddle at rookie minicamp, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
New England is entering a new era with Maye and Mayo taking the reigns as quarterback and head coach, respectively. Maye still has to earn the starting role, though, as New England has veteran Jacoby Brissett on hand should the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft need time to marinate on the bench. The Patriots are hoping they have their quarterback of the future in Maye, and New England's coaching staff is already getting to work on improving his game.
