Patriots quarterback Drake Maye to grow with two rookie receivers

Posted May 28, 2024
Once the Patriots knew that quarterback Drake Maye would be their pick at No. 3 overall in the NFL draft, they had another goal in mind. Draft a wide receiver, or two, who could grow with Maye. The idea that Washington's Ja'Lynn Polk (second round, No. 37) and UCF's Javon Baker (fourth round, No. 110) would be signing four-year contracts was appealing. (ESPN.com)
