## Resource

The Patriots made a bold call by staying put at No. 3 to draft Drake Maye, despite the Vikings’ desperate bid to trade up—offering multiple picks including a future first-round selection. While Minnesota settled for J.J. McCarthy at No. 10, Maye has since exploded as one of the NFL’s elite QBs, leading the Patriots to the Super Bowl, while McCarthy’s struggles have relegated him to third-string and cost the Vikings playoff hopes. The Patriots’ patience paid off big time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
