If Drake Maye was in this draft would you pick him over Young?

Sorry Im canadian so I try not to have big reactions... 

I only reacted like that cause I dont want to think about next year, we are about to draft our franchise QB. TOMORROW. 

Lets just pumped about that. 

What part of Canada are you in?  My wife was born in Halifax and has a ton of family in PEI.

Yeah that's a little Baker-like but I really don't think it's that big of a deal.  These guys talk like that all the time on the field.  It's just not a very good look for the little kids looking up to the players.

Maye and Williams are going to get picked apart just like Young, Stroud, etc. this time next year.

Need to see how they play their final season of college. I remember when guys like Brian Brohm, Christen Hackenburg, and Ryan Mallet were projected as top 3 picks heading into their final season. Even Sam Howell after his first year at UNC was talked about as a surefire top 5 pick after one season.

So many hypotheticals lately, you’d think it’s a drug

It's kinda close but I would pick Maye. He literally carried a UNC offense by himself. 

I don't care for UNC but you take Drake Maye every year over Young. Anyone who watched him this year knows that.

I'm an App State fan and after the UNC - App game I went on the UNC board and let people know, because I knew, that he was a legit Heisman Contender. He didn't misfire a single ball that entire game. Pure insanity from a ball placement standpoint, speed, stature.

I'd also rather have Will Andersom than 5'9 Bryce Young so...whatever. Young is too small. He's going to get hurt. And I'll enjoy the blast from the past from 2010.

Drake Maye is none of those guys lol...im laughing so hard my stomach is hurting man. Drake Maye is a Top 2 pick, sure fire. 5 star, 6'5, 4.5 40, ball placement on par with Stroud...

His comp is probably a faster Justin Herbert.

I don't watch UNC football (despite being an alum), but statistically speaking, the last 4 games of the season were his worst 4 games by virtually every metric.  He seemed to start off sizzling hot and then fell off towards the end of the season.  Not sure if he was injured or he lost a bunch of receivers/o-line or what, but that's a bit of a discouraging trend to end the season.  Bryce Young on the other hand, doesn't seem to have really had a statistically "bad" game dating back the last two seasons, other than perhaps the UGA championship game last year where he threw for 369 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs.  Maye has had a very promising start to his career, but I still think he's TBD to see if he can play an entire season at a high level, whereas Young has proven that.

I like him even more for it personally

Manitoba. Dead middle of the country.

Yeah not gonna get a non bias answer in here at all to that one hahaha

[Brent Gregory]

Young is a 180 pound qb. That's not big at any level of football much less the nfl. He's a smart guy and processes great. He's gonna be the panther qb and hopefully hold up for 5 good years. I'd choose Maye over him based on Mayes incredible skill level and great size. The sad thing about young is he checks off so many important boxes as a qb but is a very small human by fb standards. 

[LordOfDaWingz]

Drake has talent but here are a few things I have issues with:

 

Despite popular belief, UNC is a talented football team. They’ve had numerous top 15/20 recruiting classes over the last 5 years.

With that being said, his performances and his team performances vs inferior opponents in talent like GT, NCSU, etc leaves a lot to be desired. Especially against GT was just a poor outing for a talented offense vs GT team that only accounted for 4-5 wins. 

[GoobyPls]

I feel like Maye is a really special prospect
