00:00 Patriots Daily is brought to you by FanDuel, the exclusive wedgering partner of the CLNS

00:04 Media Network.

00:05 May's an interesting one.

00:08 So I was never, and I know this is going to sound crazy to some people, like I remember

00:12 Drake May last year when he came out as a, broke out as a freshman.

00:16 Being like, are we really doing this with Drake May?

00:18 And then he started doing stuff I didn't think he could do.

00:22 And he really impressed the second half of last year and the beginning of this season.

00:26 And then he played a run of kind of bad teams and, and piled up the numbers.

00:30 And look, I'm not going to fault the guy for beating bad teams.

00:32 You need to do that.

00:34 And it's impressive.

00:36 He did not end the season on a high note.

00:37 He had some bad losses.

00:39 He got loose with the football.

00:41 I still can't unsee to your point that he does a lot of the things Mack Jones does.

00:47 They just work.

00:48 It's scary.

00:49 He went to work in the ACC, which was a bad conference this year.

00:54 And he didn't really play any of the best ACC teams.

00:56 He played Duke is pretty much it.

00:59 And Clemson didn't play well against.

01:02 He has tremendous physical tools.

01:05 And for that, he is still an elite quarterback prospect.

01:08 The size, the arm strength, the athletic ability, the speed, that's all there.

01:13 But he also needs to be able to play quarterback.

01:16 So okay.

01:17 Bring up the comment gives Mitch Trubisky vibes.

01:19 I get that.

01:20 And Sam Howell as well.

01:21 He's much more physically gifted than Trubisky and Howell were, but I think the concerns

01:26 are the same.

01:27 Those two guys did not play a lot of college football and they came in very raw and you

01:32 were essentially buying potential.

01:34 You weren't really buying on anything tangible with them.

01:37 I think the hope this year was may would had so much natural ability that he would give

01:42 you something tangible from a football skillset to kind of lock in that pick.

01:47 He kind of did.

01:49 And there are people who will see what they want to see and I understand it, but how does

01:54 that, some of that circus stuff transfer from the ACC to the NFL, if he can still get away

01:59 with it.

02:00 And I'm not saying he can't, if he can transfer that to the NFL.

02:03 Yeah.

02:04 He's worth the second overall pick.

02:06 The Justin Herbert comp is spot on.

02:09 He'll be excellent, but will it transfer?

02:12 This is sorry.

02:13 Last point on it.

02:14 He needs to go.

02:15 He needs to go to the senior role.

02:16 He, if he shows up and it was a big week at the senior bowl, it's like, all right, he

02:19 did it against elite talent.

02:20 We're good.

02:21 We move on.

02:22 If he goes to the senior bowl and struggles, there's going to be serious questions about

02:26 him.

02:27 If he doesn't go to the senior bowl, I'm going to look at that and say, he's worried about

02:31 struggling.

02:32 That's a red flag.

02:33 I need to see Drake may go and have a good week at the senior bowl.

02:36 If he does that, yeah, he's QB too locked in, but he did leave the door open.

02:41 Now the Justin Herbert comp.

02:43 Yeah.

02:44 Like maybe my memory is foggy on Herbert.

02:47 I don't remember part of his scouting report being like maze where he goes outside of structure

02:53 so often or to the degree that it really worries you.

02:57 I felt like it was more that like things are so simple.

03:00 Can he mentally, you know, adapt to the NFL?

03:02 And I know there were questions about his demeanor because obviously he's a guy who

03:05 hates attention and avoids it like actively avoids attention.

03:09 Despite the fact that people put him on him in negative ways that make absolutely no sense.

03:12 I'm looking at you, Ocho, you weirdo.

03:16 That's Herbert.

03:17 But with may, I feel like the physical talents here, like you see the incredible arm strength,

03:21 you see the easy athleticism, but then I also see where Herbert isn't a guy like a Josh

03:27 Allen or like a younger in my homes where he relies on his athleticism with Herbert.

03:32 It's more like every once in a while he'll have a crazy run where you're like, right,

03:35 this guy is six foot five.

03:37 Like he's a massive and he is fast.

03:39 Whereas with may, you know, I started to kind of watch him a little bit more and I realized

03:43 sometimes this guy is trying to run away from pressure and it works, but often not oftentimes,

03:48 but there's more times that I expected where it doesn't.

03:51 And when you're in college and you're trying to escape pass rushers and you can't on any

03:55 kind of consistent basis, but you're someone who tries to use your athleticism, that's

03:59 like, okay, at the NFL, people are only going to get faster.

04:03 So obviously it's like a Caleb Williams situation where like you can coach that out of him,

04:07 but is it really quite the same?

04:08 Because I've seen so many Justin Herbert comments.

04:10 I feel like you look at them.

04:12 It's like tall white kid who's pretty athletic and you know, can throw a pretty ball.

04:16 I feel like that's where a lot of it comes from.

04:18 But I also feel like the things that scare you are more prominent with may than they

04:22 were for Herbert because of Herbert.

04:24 It was more mental.

04:25 Well, I guess both are technically mental, but it was more, can he catch up rather than

04:29 can he kind of pull back on some of the stuff that worries you.
