"The New England Patriots plan to listen to offers for their third pick right up until they turn the card in during the 8 p.m. ET hour.
As of earlier today, no one had come close to offering what it’d take to get there—with a quarterback premium for the pick in place. New England had plans to stay in touch with both the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings through the afternoon, and will keep listening, with both presumed to have Drake Maye in their sites.
Some in the league believe it’s Maye-or-no-quarterback for the Giants. As for the Vikings, my sense is they really like J.J. McCarthy. Whether they give up both of their first-rounders to get him is another question.
While I think it’ll be a receiver for the Giants at 6 if it’s not a quarterback, I have heard they do like Notre Dame’s Joe Alt. Taking him would likely mean moving 2022 first-rounder Evan Neal inside to guard—and might necessitate too much movement (do you move Alt or Andrew Thomas to right tackle?) on the line for Joe Schoen & Co. to actually go through with it."

Yeah that's crazy talk!
Or message is: if you want Alt, deal with us.
My immediate thought, also.
Or message is: if you want Alt, deal with us.
Yup. Reminds me of the 2014 draft when Kim Jones reported the Giants were interested in Johnny Manziel.

Hey Tennessee we will possibly take Alt so....
"They want Maye, but it will cost a lot to move up. They would take a WR. Maybe they don't take a WR and take the next highest rated guy, but they have guys at that position."

Agreed.
