Drake Maye

Drake Maye decided not to throw at the NFL Combine but he did allow teams to gather information on his measurables. Maye has a very strong frame, standing over 6’4″ tall and weighing 223 pounds. He should be considered the favorite to be the No.2 pick in the NFL Draft as well (currently held by the Washington Commanders). While he doesn’t compare physically to Josh Allen as some have suggested, Maye has enough athletic ability to add fantasy value with his legs.

Those looking for a headline in Maye’s measurements could point to his small hands, measuring just over 9 inches. However, it should be noted that Joe Burrow possesses a similar hand size and can play at a high level. Ultimately, this isn’t a concern as Maye didn’t have a lot to prove at the NFL Combine.

Despite him not participating in throwing drills at the NFL Combine, Drake Maye is still impressing talent evaluators. Scouts are coming away with very positive impressions from his interviews and are speaking glowingly about his arm talent as well. Maye should be considered the favorite to be the No.2 pick in the NFL Draft, a selection currently held by the Commanders.

While Maye doesn’t possess the rushing upside of Jayden Daniels, he is the much safer quarterback prospect. This is why the expert rankers at PlayerProfiler have Daniels ahead of Maye in 1QB formats, but Maye ahead in superflex leagues. In all, he is a very good prospect who would provide a major quarterback upgrade for any of the teams at the top of the draft board. Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and the entire Commanders’ offense could be due for a bump in fantasy value as a result.
