The long wait for the 2024 NFL Draft is finally over.
The Patriots hold the third overall pick, their highest since drafting Drew Bledsoe first overall in 1993. This year, New England looks set to draft its quarterback of the future in the first round.
There’s a near consensus among NFL insiders and draft experts on who that quarterback will be, with many expecting the Patriots to select Drake Maye. The expectation is that Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels will be drafted by the Bears and Commanders with the first two picks, respectively, which would leave the Patriots with Maye.
