The NFL Draft is right around the corner, which is the most highly anticipated event of the offseason.
The draft is a great way for fans and analysts to forget that real NFL football will not be played for several months.
Fans and analysts spend a lot of time trying to predict where specific players will fall, especially in the first round.
While there are several places for fans to put their mock drafts together, PFF’s Mock Draft Simulator tends to be the most popular.
There are a few growing trends with fan mocks, including Drake Maye being the most popular player selected as No. 3 overall to the New England Patriots, as PFF NE Patriots highlighted on Twitter.

The Patriots have struggled to gain traction at the QB position for the past several years.
Things haven’t quite clicked for them since Tom Brady’s departure, which has led to some frustration within the organization.
Mac Jones wasn’t the answer, as the Patriots have since traded him away, seemingly making room for their upcoming draft pick.
If Maye ends up falling to the Patriots at pick No. 3, this fan prediction could become a reality.
The Patriots have made a lot of offseason changes to try to prepare for a new quarterback, which includes switching up their coaching regime.
Bill Belichick has been the leader of the team for more than 20 years, but now that Jerod Mayo has the reins of the offense, it will be interesting to see how this team moves forward.
