Patriots have now met with each of the top 4 projected QBs.  I think that's the correct move.  Need to be fully informed for what may be a wild draft.

I have gone back and forth on these four guys.  My general sense, in order of preference is:
1. Drake Maye.  Most upside.  Probably also the lowest floor if he doesn't fix some of this issues and learn how to play in an NFL style system throwing on timing.  Have to hope he makes a leap, but if he does, you're set. 
2. JJ McCarthy. Pats fans seem down on him, but most are ignorant of college football.  All the physical tools, very athletic, can play in an NFL timing system and has good mechanics.  Great throwing on the move (like Steve Young was).  
3. Jayden Daniels. Fast, great and dangerous runner, really good outside thrower on deep fades and curls. Improved a lot, ceiling is lower due to mediocre arm and questionable frame.  Have to build a unique offense around him and load it with outside receiving threats.  Very poor fit in New England.
4. Michael Penix.  Best deep ball throwing in the class.  Better mobility than expected post injury.  Very good arm, throws out of the pocket.  Can be rattled by pressure and loses composure. Best on a solid team with good weapons around him.  Older, injury risk.  High floor.
