Albert Breer Reveals Vikings, Giants Packages Patriots Rejected Before Drafting Drake Maye at No. 3

The details surface during Maye’s Year 2 surge, highlighting why New England stayed put.

Overview

  • Albert Breer said on 98.5 The Sports Hub that Minnesota offered picks No. 11 and No. 23 in 2024, a 2025 first-rounder and later pick swaps to move up for Drake Maye.
  • Breer added that the Giants offered the No. 6 pick in 2024, their 2025 first-round pick and a third-rounder to climb to No. 3.
  • New England declined both proposals and selected Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
  • Maye has opened 2025 with 1,522 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and two interceptions through six games, plus 138 rushing yards and two scores, as the Patriots sit 4-2.
  • After missing on Maye, the Vikings traded up one spot to draft J.J. McCarthy, and the Giants later selected Jaxson Dart at No. 25 in the 2025 draft.
