The consensus entering the 2024 NFL Draft is that USC's Caleb Williams will be the No. 1 overall pick. That was true the moment the 2023 draft ended, and despite some uncertainty about whether the Bears would commit to Justin Fields and pa s on a quarterback, it remains true as the big night approaches.After No. 1, chaos could begin. It's widely a sumed that both the Commanders and Patriots will draft quarterbacks, but who the picks will be is unclearNorth Carolina's Drake Maye was long viewed as the No. 2 quarterback in the 2024 draft, but a Heisman-winning season from LSU's Jayden Daniels -- plus rumors that Michigan's J.J. McCarthy is rocketing up draft boards -- have put Maye's status as the projected No. 2 pick very much up in the air.There's little doubt one team will see Maye as its franchise quarterback when the first round is done in Detroit, but which team will it be?The Sporting News is tracking the latest rumors surrounding Maye's potential landing spots and determining how serious they might be.MORE: Drake Maye draft rumorsJerod Mayo praises Maye asPatriots zero in on selectionDate:Wednesday, April 24Reported by:Cameron Wolfe, NFL D'Angelo Russell Jersey NetworkSmoke screen index:5/10The Patriots expect to stick with the No. 3 overall pick in Thursday's NFL Draft barring a "franchise-changing" trade offer, Wolfe reported.While New England still hassix prospects on its board for the top pick, and the team would be "comfortable" with any of them, head coach Jerod Mayo raved about Maye in particular, .Maye think he 'has an idea' of where he is going in 2024 NFL DraftDate:Wednesday, April 24Reported by:Dan Patrick,Premiere Radio NetworksSmoke screen index:7/10Maye made an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday to discu s the upcoming NFL Draft. The UNC product said he "wished" he knew what team was going to select him, but he did divulge that he "has an idea" of where he'll end up.Drake Maye made an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show and was asked if he already knew who is going to draft him and if he liked cold weather.Maye:I wish I did and I wish it was that easy.

That being said, two other teams are reportedly looking to trade up to grab him.The Giants and Vikings are in talks with the Patriots about trading up to No. 3 for Maye, according to Fox Sports' Peter Schrager who appeared Tuesday on the "Pat McAfee Show.""I think Drake Maye goes at number three I'm hearing that the Vikings Giants are trying to get up..If the Patriots aren't sold on Maye they could trade back and draft JJ McCarthy..That's playing a DANGEROUS game though" Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) Like the Patriots, the Vikings are in need of a starting quarterback. They own the No. 11 pick, which is likely too late in the first round to select any of the top four quarterbacks in this year's draft cla s. So it makes sense that Vikings would want to move up.The report on the Giants, however, is where things are a bit fishy. Daniel Jones is under a four-year, $160 million contract that ends in 2027. He sat out most of the 2023 season with an ACL injury, so it seems odd to give up on a player that quickly after signing him to a long-term deal.Maye not the favorite to be picked No. 2 overall?Date:Monday, April 15Reported by: Smoke screen index:4/10Daniels might be the favorite to be selected No. 2 overall by the Commanders, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler."Teams I've talked to do believe that Daniels is the most viable option for Washington and could eventually be the pick," Fowler said on "Get Up" on Monday, noting that the Commanders still have to meet with both Daniels and Maye.Buzz connecting Daniels and the Commanders has built through reports and mock drafts over the last handful of weeks, so Washington appears to at least be considering the LSU quarterback over Maye. Considering they still plan to meet with both quarterbacks, it makes sense that the franchise is keeping its options open and hasn't definitively settled on one player.The real smoke screen might be Fowler reporting in the same breath that a trade could still be on the table for the Commanders. While Washington might be interested in finding out just how desperate the rest of the NFL is to draft a franchise quarterback, it would be shocking to see the organization pa s on a chance to draft Daniels and Maye after decades without a long-term solution at quarterback.Patriots 'impre sed' by MayeDate:Thursday, April 11Reported by: Smoke screen index:2/10As the Patriots consider their potential options at No. 3 overall, ESPN's Mike Rei s reports the franchise has been "impre sed" with Maye, but he added that they're still finalizing their draft board.It makes sense that New England is "impre sed." Rei s noted that Maye's strong arm could make him an ideal fit in often suboptimal northeast conditions. It's believable that the Patriots see Maye's potential and think he could be a fit with the franchise if he reaches their pick.At the same time, it's tough to get a read on a first-time head of football operations. Eliot Wolf hasn't had this opportunity before, so it's unclear which direction he might lean when it comes to Maye, McCarthy, or Daniels depending on which two are available. Julius Erving Jersey
