Drake Maye

The former Tar Heel tied a bow on his collegiate career with 62 passing TDs and 16 interceptions. Even after taking a slight step backward in 2023 compared to his elite sophomore campaign, Maye shouldn't wait very long to hear his name called with scouts comparing his outlook to franchise QBs like Justin Herbert and Josh Allen.
In Maye's first year as a starter at UNC (2022) at 20 years of age, he finished with a top-5 PFF passing grade in the nation while leading his team in rushing yards. He averaged nearly 56 yards per game on the ground through his 2 years as a starter. He has a top-tier ceiling as an NFL quarterback.

The Giants are rumored to be interested in trading up in the 2024 NFL Draft to acquire Drake Maye. They currently hold the sixth overall pick and are looking to move to the third or fourth pick overall to draft Maye.

Fantasy Impact

Should the Giants acquire Maye, it is possible he could be the Giants' starter going into Week 1. The Giants also have the option to help further develop the soon-to-be rookie from North Carolina and have him sit behind Daniel Jones for one year. Regardless if Maye is the starter in Week 1 for the Giants, he would be a risky fantasy pick in 12-team, 1QB leagues due to the substandard offensive ecosystem surrounding him.
