The New England Patriots retained the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL draft to select quarterback Drake Maye, despite receiving numerous offers. Notably, their Super Bowl rivals, the New York Giants, expressed significant interest in acquiring the pick. This interest was highlighted during a conversation at the Scouting Combine between Giants’ general manager Joe Schoen and assistant GM Brandon Brown, captured for HBO’s “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” on Max.

Following this discussion, Schoen contacted the Patriots’ de facto GM Eliot Wolf to reiterate the Giants’ interest. Wolf acknowledged receiving calls from other teams but did not disclose the Patriots’ plans. The Patriots’ true intentions became clear when they selected Maye with the No. 3 pick, securing a potential franchise quarterback after Tom Brady’s departure in 2020.

After losing starting guards Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson to free agency, the Ravens faced the challenge of replacing both positions. Although they considered addressing these gaps in the 2024 NFL Draft, a run on guards in the third round led them to pivot. Instead, they focused on other needs, selecting Penn State pass rusher Adisa Isaac and Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa.

Separately, rookie safety Beau Brade, a top undrafted free agent from Maryland, will be sidelined for a few weeks due to an ankle injury but is expected to return before training camp.

It sounds like each AFC North team made strategic moves in the first round of the draft to address key areas of need.

For the Pittsburgh Steelers, selecting Troy Fautanu was a bit of a steal considering his projected value. His versatility to play both inside and outside on the offensive line gives the Steelers flexibility in addressing their weaknesses, particularly along the interior. While there are some health concerns, if Fautanu can stay healthy and refine his aggressive playing style, he could be a solid addition to the Steelers’ offensive line.
