Taking Drake May in round six is a totally fine pick to make. But I would rather, you know, wait till round seven, round eight, maybe they fall to round nine for a Trevor Lawrence or a Justin Herbert. It just feels like a lot better value. You're still getting an amazing quarterback with great upside.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Round 6 is fine but round 7-9 Lawrence/Herbert offers better value with lower opportunity cost.

Taking Drake Maye in round six is described as 'a totally fine pick to make,' but the source prefers waiting until round seven, eight, or nine for Trevor Lawrence or Justin Herbert instead. The rationale is that waiting provides better value—still getting an amazing quarterback with great upside—while avoiding the opportunity cost of taking a quarterback in round six when receiver talent drops significantly after round six, making those later-round quarterbacks better value despite similar quality.
