The 2024 NFL Draft is now two days away. Washington holds the No. 2 choose this yr and most specialists consider they’re targeted on a pair of proficient quarterbacks.
Subject Yates (ESPN): Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
The reigning Heisman Trophy winner has been linked to the Commanders for a while. Rightfully so, in accordance with Yates.
“The Commanders can land their quarterback of the current and future right here with Daniels, probably the most dynamic dual-threat signal-caller the draft has seen shortly. Daniels’ calm demeanor in LSU’s greatest moments final season offers me confidence he’ll make a smoother transition to the NFL than most rookie passers.”
In his remaining three video games as a Tiger, Daniels threw for 1,020 yards with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions. As a two-year starter, he had 6,725 yards passing and 57 touchdowns with one other 2,019 and 21 scores on the bottom.
After all, 13 years in the past, Washington used a No. 2 choose to take a dynamic dual-threat signal-caller named Robert Griffin III. Sadly, issues didn’t go so nicely however Yates appears to have extra religion in Daniels.
Dave Helman (Fox Sports activities): Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Helman stays skeptical.
“If I am unsuitable, then I am unsuitable. However I simply do not buy the Jayden Daniels smoke with Washington. I feel Drake Maye’s tantalizing upside makes him definitely worth the funding at No. 2, and I am not going to let pre-draft smokescreens throw me off.”
He could have some extent. If the Commanders had been offered on Daniels, there can be no cause to carry him in with 21 different prospects together with quarterbacks like J.J. McCarthy and Drake Maye for group conferences, one thing that did not sit nicely with Daniels’ camp.
