Drake MayeQBNE

Jared flags Drake May as a must-draft value and potential league-winning quarterback despite being QB5 in ADP. May was QB3 in fantasy points per game last year in his first season under Josh McDaniels with a mediocre supporting cast. He led the league in completion rate and completion percentage over expected, was third in passing touchdowns, and third among QBs in rushing attempts, fourth in rushing yards, and eighth in rushing touchdowns. The Patriots' offensive line is a year older with a first-round draft pick added, plus signings of Romeo Dubs and Eli Raridan (fast tight end), and the trade for AJ Brown gives May a true number-one receiver. In underdog drafts, May goes in the middle of round six, ahead of opportunity costs like Tony Pollard, Chuba Hubbard, and Marvin Harrison Jr. Jared projects a tougher schedule will increase pass attempts despite potential efficiency decline, and McDaniels has shown willingness to let May air it out. May is more expensive than last year but still too cheap given the Patriots' investment in his weapons.
