- Today we’re talking about UNC quarterback Drake Maye. Maye has all the talent in the world; huge arm, moments of having pin point accuracy, good athleticism and improvisational skills. But with all the positives come some negatives, which we will talk about to!

I think this was a fair and balanced assessment of Maye. Good job.
Dude this is one of the best clips and break down I have seen. I like how you have perfect clips/examples to every subject you had! Good job bro!
Love the channel - watch religiously! Would love to see some evals of 2nd Round OLmen. My ‘Manders are in desperate need, and will almost definitely take at least one with their two 2nd rounders
Whoever drafts him needs to sit him for a year or 2 and have him learn behind a veteran. Just like Jordan Love.
Worst thing for him is to be forced to start on a last placed team and have his confidence and development shattered by all that losing.
My Sentiments exactly, I agree unless he goes to a team that has most of the key players in place.
I really need to see you cover rattler and JJ.
They are coming soon! Doing Caleb Williams next, then those guys!
@@TankFantasySports love it man, learning a lot watching you go over these guys. Will watch whatever you upload
Give me JJ over Maye...he's younger faster with an equal arm.
Wait till JJ test and throws at his pro day or combine it's all gonna change
I would not be shocked if JJ became QB-2 by draft day.
I mean is Washington drafting Maye after watching Howell bust out?
Howell looked better than Maye in the same offense or as good.
@@florida1289who’s JJ? Lmao
@@masterful7346JJ McCarthy
honestly, i really think there may be something to how well a qb interviews and how well they perform on the field and drake maye gives by far the best interviews of this qb draft class. qb #1 imo.
Yeah, the interview shows some of their intellectual capacity 👍
Barely started making NFL content, this video is so damn good bro I need to learn to analyze and break things down like this
Thank you for your analysis.
I appreciate it !
Great breakdown! Really well spoken
As a Patriots fan, I would love to see him at pick #3! But our offense is truly awful: bad OL and WR's and sketchy coaching.
Those throws are sick
I really hope the Bears take this guy and not Caleb. He's all flashy throws and scrambles, he's not gonna be especially great in the NFL. His juking in the pocket won't be as effective. Drake will do very well in a west coast type offense, just an upright pocket passer throwing frozen ropes into tight windows. He's like Jay Cutler if he had precision and discipline and was more conservative, which would've been one of the greats. The dream of Cutler is alive I guess
He's a bigger Sam Howell.
Who were Zach Wilson's throws
Drake Maye is the quarterback you would want to sit for a year or two behind a proven veteran qb to learn the system and to learn from his mistakes in practice.
His accuracy concerns me a lot. He consistently misses those fades on the sideline. But when you watch full games you're like how are you missing these throws, easy throws. Yeah he has the wow throws but missing the easy throws a lot is alarming.
I think the consistency with those easy throws is an issue with his footwork, which can be improved with coaching
@Hydro0619 I agree. He also doesn't have amazing WRs running those routes and some of it is timing being off
Makes terrible decisions sometimes too.
Dude will be turned over all the time in the NFL
@@kylemcdade843so Josh Allen 2.0 … I’ll take that
Not to mention that he underthrows
Drake Maye player comp: Jay Cutler. If he's not completely insane like Cutler, it could work lol
“Awl-Right..” 😂
Imagine how good can Drake Maye be if someone teaches him how to play QB, not just be an incredible athlete at the position.
The bust factor is high with Maye. If he lands in Chicago, Wash that bust factor goes up considerably. He is a red shirt sophomore (21). Ideally he needs to go place with an established aging starter and he can sit the first year. If he is forced to be the savior I don’t think that can work.
Dats any QB go to the bears 🤣😈
As a Tar-Heels fan I'll be excited to be seeing him on Sunday's Drake Maye will be a really good QB hopefully he will win a Super Bowl Championship Ring but not just yet only when the time is right in his future regardless he'll definitely be fine
Maye is suffering from trying to carry his team. He was hit on the 1st int. He missed 2 of those passes. The pass int andctge 3 throws up the sideline aren't even questionable. Drake Maye checks every single box
I see his floor being Zach Wilson and his ceiling being Josh Allen judging by his aggressive playstyle.
Bro just gave the widest margin possible 😅
@@Asian_Import That’s what literally see from him, a boom or bust prospect.
Zach Wilson doesn’t have the same arm talent
He needs a father-figure. To me he seems like a kid who needs some but not too much discipline. He wants to learn the small stuff, but it looks like his college coach left that out. Brissett may be of more value to the Patriots than initially thought.
Fantastic analysis but 17:32 is crazy work.
Maye is going to be good and I wish the Vikings could somehow move up to draft him. Great video!!!
There's just no chance he falls to the Vikings even if they trade to 3. The issue is with how much trade capital the Vikings would lose to do it, he'd have to be able to immediately pull his weight. The herbert comparison does worry me, as herbert would be a great fit on the vikings, however hes kinda been stuck in the " good qb, team never goes anywhere" funk. He looks good, but does he have enough "X factor" to elevate the vikings. Teams are going to take him for his rocket arm, but if he has accuracy on the deep balls, whats the point of the cannon?
Vikings will have ridiculous cap space in 2025, they could totally move up to get Maye. Won't happen but I'd love to see it
Great video
Thanks for the vid. Who would you take - maye or Daniels? It’s not clear in the video after you’ve analyzed both qbs.
He said he prefers Daniels in response to another comment
Watching him it hit me. He reminds me a LOT of Daniel Jones coming out of Duke. So many similarities actually. Both have a similar throwing motion, can really throw nice darts on a rope, can throw a deep ball with touch. I heard Drake Maye say in an interview with Chris Simms that he was taught how to QB by a former QB coach out of Mississippi who worked with Eli Manning. Well, Daniel Jones worked with Eli's QB coach (he became the head coach of Duke). Both guys played behind awful OLs in college. Daniel Jones had no NFL WR talent on his team.
Poor Daniel Jones. In the NFL he has had a terrible OL. At times when the blocking is good, he looks phenomenal. He makes tough throws. Lots of zip on the ball. He just never has any time to make deep passes (he gets pressure on every play within 3 seconds it seems like). Because of all the pressure in the pocket he has been injured a lot. Jones sat behind Eli Manning to learn before starting. Looks like Maye might need the same trajectory.
You don’t need to draft a strong arm QB. Accuracy, knowledge to read the defense, and a game manager can be a better option. Like Joe Montana once said, “ I don’t throw darts at balloons, I throw balloons at darts “. Yes, I like Maye’s arm strength and he can improve with good NFL coaching Zander the right system. But JJ McCarthy has suddenly become a good option and most likely a top 10 pick.
Quite enlightening.
I appreciate it 🔥
I think he has a ton of upside. Watching him play at Carolina you could see this past year he didn’t truly have a WR1 until the NCAA finally let Walker play after like half a season. That along with his poor o-line and run blockers kind of hindered his passing game this season. On the flip side I think he tried to enhance his run game to make up for the loss of skill position talent and it’s obvious he can run for long 3rds if need be. I don’t really understand comparisons to Howell or Trubisky, I think people just subconsciously connect them all going to Carolina and see them as the same type of player when they’re quite different. Upside alone, Maye has more physical and potential talent than both Howell or Trubisky ever had. I think Howell might have slightly better toughness, but besides that Maye seems to have greater upside.
I thought Mel Kiper said that JJ McCarthy was the hardest QB to rate this year 🤣. Been a hell of a roller coaster pre-draft so far.
He’ll be the best QB in the draft and he’ll go way higher than people anticipate
@@ERizzo5 if a GM takes JJ McCarthy in the top 5 they should kiss their job goodbye
I think a good comparison for him is Allen not saying he’s gonna be that good but play style seems very similar
There’s absolutely no way I’m taking Maye over Daniels.
Facts
I really hope the commanders have the same thought process bc I want him to be available at pic #3
@@brycebyer887 😂😂😂
As a Patriots fan I did NOT want Drake at all. I wanted MHJ or Daniels and believe me I was furious about the pick. But it is my team and I want him to succeed along with the team so I wanted a non bias take on him and even though I’m still mad about passing up on Marvin, I really appreciate this video as it gives my more confidence in him!
I remember a lot of these same question marks about Josh Allen when he played at Wyoming. He may not be the next Josh Allen but he sure aint the second coming of Mitch Trubisky. Dude is going to be for real.
I really hope the vikings can find a way to get this guy. Imagine Maye passing to Jefferson Addison Hockenson and Aaron Jones 😂
Question Marks! JD plays with great O lines and great wide receivers. JD never been exposed to pressure in college. Look at last year 1st pick. Scouting Report: Summary vs He was graded F in this season playing NFL level.
Bryce Young has the ability to become a generational talent at the next level. He has impressive arm talent, excellent overall accuracy, elite mobility, and a sky-high football IQ with fast processing of the play in progress. Again Scouting report sounds great.
JD also faced MUCH better defenses than any other QB this year and probably the most NFL Defensive talent faced as well, and carved them all up, while knowing his defense sucked so bad, the entire game was on his shoulders.
The years of grinding finally clicked for JD this year (similar to burrow’s senior season) and the way he learned to read defenses and go through his progressions is better than any other college QB this year, and gives him tremendous upside in the nfl
This Draft reminds me so much of Andrew Luck vs RG3 + Drake/Sam NC QB's
Would love your analysis on Rattler’s tape!
Your reports are great 👍. Will you do JJ McCarthy video??
Caleb Williams is coming in the morning, and then JJ McCarthey will be out sometime this week!
Im hopeful vikings can move up to get Drake but its going to be tough.
Ceiling: Josh Allen (would need to be in the perfect situation for that to happen)
Middle ground: Jeff George/Jay Cutler
Floor: Mitch Trubisky
Please do Sam Hartman, he’s a interesting prospect. Ik he’s not 1st round, 2nd round, or even 4th round but he interesting.
He sucks as a notre dame fan
One thing with Maye I can’t seem to get over is he seems to throw well to open receivers and doesn’t throw receivers open if you get me. A lot of them seem to be on the line of just behind them
Man this video made me question if he’s worth a top 5 pick cause yeah he’s got all the tools the arm and everything but is he gonna be a good NFL QB right away??? Idk anymore lol
I’m glad you feel that way. We are just told by these NFL scouts that Drake Maye is a locked in top 5 pick, but nobody disagrees? He’s been the QB2 everywhere I’ve seen, and I like Jayden Daniels more than Maye.
Drake Maye & Sam Howell played in the same offense.
Howell was better yet he's not an NFL QB clearly
I don't get the Maye hype at all.
@@florida1289Howell was not better than maye. Quit helmet scouting I thought this was over with stroud and Herbert
He reminds me of Kenny Pickett. His decision making and inaccuracy scares me.
@@TankFantasySportsi agree. I think Daniel’s would make an instant impact on any team he’s drafted too. Commanders would be wise to select Daniel’s and mix up the entire draft lol
Stressing so hard on who I want to draft with the 1.03.. maye or daniels. Hopefully the team they get drafted by helps with that but the way it's looking I'm not so sure😅
My bro, if Maye had the weapons Daniels had we wouldn't be asking that question. My advice, move off the 1.03 to the 1.04 or 1.05. Then you don't have to make the decision
Watched both your videos on Daniels and Maye. As a Redskins fan, I thought Maye was the guy but after your evaluation on both; Daniels is the safer pick.
This guy arm is insane
He's Jay Cutler.
That’s actually a pretty good comp
Go Pats!
I dont see the Justin Herbert comparison at all. Sure, he has a strong arm, but he cant read defenses....you know who else has a strong arm and cant read a defense????? Zack Wilson
I think the Justin Herbert comparison is fairly obvious tbh. I'm actually confused with why anyone would think he can't read defenses
Bullshit. That guy has shown that he plays at a level of an NFL quarterback. He has demonstrated that he is more than capable of playing at the NFL level. He is going to make a lot of NFL players look stupid.
@@user-ow8fw2qd2c agree
@@cassiuscarter2832 I think its a lazy comparison simply because they are similar in size although Herberts quite a bit bigger. He doest move through his reads effectively, often quickly returning to his first read before either leaving his pocket early or trying to play hero ball. Watch how he breaks down against exotic looks.
@@user-ow8fw2qd2c he wont and he hasnt. Watch his game film against tough defenses that use exotic looks like NC State.
Really important question- is this tape from both years? Did his mistakes decrease his senior year?
He's a redshirt sophomore so he never played his senior year. It's one of the reasons he's considered an intriguing prospect. He has only been the starter for 2 seasons so he has a lot of potential for growth.
where did you get this footage?
this was college tape. it’s not even All22
To be fair, that one interception on that crossing route was the receivers fault mostly. Once the QB breaks the pocket and starts running, it's basically a scrambling drill from there. Instead of the receiver coming back for the ball, he kept running toward the sideline and allowed the DB to undercut him and pick it off. Not a good play all around sure, but the WR, that's on him
I think Drake Maye became skittish behind the bad o line. It happens to a lot of QB's, lack of trust in your o line will lead to hero ball which leads to turnovers.
It's funny how he describes the difficulties he had with his team in evaluating him this past season and all these Giants fans wanting to give up the world to get him, meanwhile this video describes the same situation he'd be heading into over there. DJ isn't the problem. They upgraded the OL should be much much better this season. Get him a WR1 protect him and watch him get them into the playoffs again
Well pulled a drake maye auto /25
At 7:59 in your video, that touchdown he thru that was called back. If you watch that play, a guy ran in from the sideline, wasn’t even in the huddle, and ran from the sidelines out to catch the pass! so the penalty was illegal motion, Offense. They didn’t even have a tackle in for that play! Honestly, he should have called a time out…. He’s awesome, but I wouldn’t praise him for that particular play. Curious how he didn’t notice there was no tackle…
Drake Maye struggles HEAVILY throwing to his right at the intermediate and short levels.
Do one for Notre Dames Sam Hartman please
Are you breaking down caleb williams?
Please do JJ McCarthy and maybe Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams coming tomorrow !
Daniels over Maye? Looking forward to the Caleb review..
At this point, I’d say Daniels over Maye! I feel safer with Daniels, but Maye could be a gifted passer so his upside is higher.
@@TankFantasySports Pretty much every professional scout disagrees with you.
@@TankFantasySportsmaye > Daniels. Daniels throwing to 2 top twenty wr and basically a whole group of nfl players.
@@Monstr_kev So then he should fit right into an NFL system depending on what team he gets on. He'll likely never end up there, but I imagine he'd feel very comfortable on the Vikings with all the weapons' they have
@@Monstr_kev So did Joe Burrow and no one held that against him.
I like his arm strength
I think Maye is going to throw a lot of INTs his first couple years. Idk what his ceiling is, but I think Caleb will have a better first contract than Maye.
The over throws are going to drive NFL receivers nuts if they become a habit
Hope vikings can move up to get him. Will u have a video fir JJ McCarthy from Michigan
He misses a lot of easy throws. Even on one of the highlighted throws… you see his WR chop a step (5 minute mark) so that it’s not behind him (picked in this case). I would love to see WRs break down his film. As a former DB I see some concerns. But kid does have serious talent
When throwing from the pocket he consistently drifts towards the side of the field that he's going to throw the ball. That's a huge tell for NFL free safeties. He'll have to work on that.
So basically he's a project.
As a country boy phrase, that May dog won’t hunt. If we pick him, he will set the franchise back seven years. Jayden Daniels or Justin Fields
Justin Fields? Are you on something?
I mean Daniels, Maye, and Mccarthy are all close to me honestly
Can u do a Spencer rattler video after ur next one I assume the next is Caleb
You nailed it. I’ll be doing Rattler after I do Caleb Williams🔥
It’s a 50-50 with these quarterbacks that either there a starter or backup, depending on how they are coached. If everyone was so smart Brady would have been a first rounder.
Still waiting for that Caleb Williams film to drop
It’ll be here on Thursday!
@@TankFantasySports Woohoo!
@@TankFantasySports 🕰
Best arm in the class? Not sure I would agree with that. Williams ,Penix both have elite arm talent and if you go on pure arm strength no one touches Joe Milton
can we get a rattler and mccarthy break down?
Caleb Williams is next, then those 2 are coming
he reminds me a lot of mitch tribusky
Who was his compition ?
What was his cast? All flushes out quit helmet scouting
Haven’t seen him vs any top defenses worries me.
Dude, Kirk Cousins can make that throw all day long and most NFL QB’s can. You don’t watch enough tape on these college guys. Nix hits a guy in stride while running right at 60 air yards in a game. Caleb Williams overthrows one at 65 air yards. All three guys have great arm talent and will be upper tier in the NFL.
I like Maye a lot and being a top 5 pick makes sense. His issue is reckless throws under pressure that would usually be picks in the NFL. He’s much like Matt Stafford was coming out. You’re going to have to put up with a few INT’s, but he’ll also throw a lot of TD’s.
Is he Blake Bortles or Matt Stafford? That’s the big question.
He has a much better arm than bortles did but the comp is definitely interesting
Drake Maye = Jay Cutler
if we’re thinking about drafting Drake Maye we might as well keep Howell. I hope I’m dead wrong but I’m getting bad vibes on him.
As a commanders fan I prefer Jayden Daniels
Commander fan here, I like Daniels too, but his lack of size worries me .
Nobody is a Commies fan, stop calling them that. As a lifelong Washington fan, I much prefer Maye, as do most Washington fans. QBs like Daniels have never won a super bowl
@@KetoJamesMaye is 6’4 220-230ish, Daniels is 6’4 & up to 210-220 this season. He was MUCH bigger than I imagined when i saw him on field level this past season.
He is going to be elite I’ve known that for years
I do not like the long windup. That is the one flaw that turns me off. A bit of a pitcher's movement. Also, production in terms of competitive wins, winning when you should lose etc, matters. In that regard the two strongest candidates are Mac, and JD.
Draks maye does throw piss missles like crazy. I cant wait for your Caleb review tho! Caleb Williams and Mahomes texas tech tape looks damn near identical.
No tf it does not what are you watching. Mahomes arm talent is on another level. Mahomes is much bigger and can throw in muddy pockets Caleb cannot. Mahomes was also more accurate from the pocket and on the run and throws a much better deep ball then Caleb . Dak Prescott has a better Arm and more accurate then Williams.
All you Jayden fans need to watch his Arizona st tape, had a better squad than Maye at the same age 2 years ago
Heard so much about this guy but never saw a single play by him lol
Hey I assume Caleb is next which is fine but after can u pls do Spencer rattler I think he is a sleeper and I want to see ur opinion on it love the vids
WASH Fan here: Hope we don't draft Maye.
Even most of his 'good' completions that you highlighted, the majority had poor location. Slightly behind, slightly too high, didn't throw the receiver open. The seeds that are perfectly placed seem more random chance than anything else. Good prospect but I'm definitely concerned and I can see why some people are putting more QBs above him.
I'd like to see Spencer rattler because he is great
And commander nation he is known as Drake maybe. And maybe it’s not a option
It looks like his problem is his he’s going for clips. Like the passes he’s missing are so easy but he’s trying get a nice looking catch
If he played with the same talent that Daniels made he would’ve looked even better. I still barely prefer him over Daniels since he’s played good for two years and his size.
Theilen has been gone from the Vikings for over a year. Yet you say he's on the Vikings.
Hes Eli Manning with a mix of Josh Allen.
Sam Howell had the exact situation as Maye and they have the same exact final year stats, i honesty think Maye is a 5th round talent just like Sam. Washington would be making a mistake not picks JD over Maye
FACTS. I am glad people are seeing what other NFL GMs and scouts have been saying for a while now about Maye.
@@dmvbay2535scouts and GMs say he’ll be a top six or earlier pick….not fifth round…wait til after the combine….
Over Daniel’s is crazy
I didn't watch any Maye this year. From what I understand from the consensus is he's great at improvising/ using his legs to extend plays and ultra elite throwing deep with a clean pocket. What worries me is, the stats show that on the 110 plays this year where he dropped back and faced pressure, he only completed 35 passes and was sacked 20% of the time. That's shockingly awful. Or am I missing something? Tarheels, fill me in...
as a Patriots fan can somebody please explain to me why he's better play than bo nix and penix
I’m not sold on Maye honestly
