Matt Johnson writes: “The New York Jets have seemingly thrown in the towel on the season, so Drake Maye and the New England Patriots will happily take advantage of it. This pick doesn’t require much analysis, as Maye will carve up New York defensively, and the Jets’ offense will continue to be stagnant. Thus, a blowout win for New England.”
