MikeT14 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Ben Standig of the Athletic 7 round mock: https://theathletic.com/5430651/2024/04/22/commanders-mock-draft-2024-jayden-daniels/?source=emp-shared-article Quote Round 1, No. 2 — Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU The flip to the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner began in early March, soon after Washington native Caleb Williams moved into essentially lock territory as the No. 1 overall selection by the Chicago Bears. The reasons for putting Daniels at No. 2 several weeks ago remain (unless last week’s local quarterback outing gave Washington a reason to look elsewhere). The 2023 production — 40 touchdown passes, four interceptions, 3,812 passing yards and 1,134 rushing yards — demonstrated unbelievable improvement. The 6-foot-3 quarterback has the size to work from the pocket, and “his dazzling run skills make him a problem for defenses,” The Athletic’s Dane Brugler wrote in his NFL Draft guide. The high pressure-to-sack rate is concerning, and the 210-pounder must become better at taking on thumping hits. There are compelling cases for Drake Maye, including familiarity with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s “Air Raid” scheme, and J.J. McCarthy (highly efficient, clutch throws). Brugler is among several public evaluators who prefer Maye over Daniels. If Peters isn’t as concerned about purported mechanical flaws, covets a more traditional pocket passer who can move, and is fine with a potential redshirt rookie season, Maye is the choice. Should the organization seek an experienced (53 college starts) dual-threat quarterback who stresses defenses on every play, then get ready to buy those Daniels jerseys.

RSkinGM Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Why aren't we all ecstatic that we can / will draft Jayden Daniels.. He'd likely be #1 overall most years . 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd likely be #1 overall most years . 🤔 Because he will be 24 in December? Because in 5 seasons in college he only threw for over 3k yards once? Because he was listed at 185 lbs all year? Because dual threat QBs historically have struggled in the NFL? Because he was surrounded by a bunch of other first round picks on offense at LSU? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each big hit damages structural integrity, it doesn't go away. If he's the guy, thats fine, and maybe I have RGPTSD, I loved him in college so I should love him if he's my QB too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
