Drake Maye has shown flashes of brilliance with limited resources at the New England Patriots. In 12 games, Maye completed 2276 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions with a completion rate of 66.8%. Despite the promising numbers, popular football analyst Nick Wright believes the Patriots should move on from Maye and draft Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Following the Patriots’ embarrassing 40-7 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Wright went onto FOX Sports 1’s First Things First and described a possible favorable scenario in which Jerod Mayo’s team might benefit from trading away Maye and use their No. 1 draft pick to make multiple additions to the team. By additions, Wright suggested drafting Shedeur and his teammate and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, along with making a move for Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.

If you feel like, this year’s QB 1, you can pick, you can decide who it is, you like more than last year’s QB 3 who you have then you must shop Drake Maye.

Nick Wright said.

Wright further suggested that the Patriots should trade Maye to Tennessee to get the No. 2 pick held by the Titans and take Hunter.

If the Titans agree with you who have the No. 2 pick and the Titans be like we would take Shedeur but if you guys take him and we like Drake Maye more than Cam Ward as an added bonus you have a chance to truly revamp the New England Patriots, by going Shedeur Sanders [No.] 1, Travis Hunter [No.] 2, Deion Sanders head coach and say you turned the worst college program around in two years, have a shot at the worst pro program.

Nick Wright ranted.

Social media outrage after Nick Wright suggests the Patriots should trade Drake Maye for Shedeur Sanders

The Patriots may be 3-13 this year, but their fan base has accepted Maye as their future quarterback. More importantly, Maye came into a system that was already on a downward spiral even before legendary coach Bill Belichick left the coup.

Sanders is a great prospect, but moving on from a player after just one year without providing him with much quality support seems overkill. The return may seem very desirable with the Colorado band back together at Foxborough, but they will have to start from scratch, delaying any kind of future success.

Nick Wright later clarified his statement.

To be clear, this isn’t what I’m saying they definitely *should* do… I’m saying if they don’t consider it (depending on how much they like/don’t like Shedeur) they’re being irresponsible.

Regardless of how the social media feels about Wright’s take, there’s certainly merit to it. If trading Maye to the Titans gets them Sanders, Hunter, and possibly Coach Prime then they should at least take a shot at it.
