Dan Orlovsky says JD is his #1 QB and gives specific reasons why. Nice interview with Rich Eisen.

Good clip.
QB's Feet feet feet timing. I remember watching a very old clip of Bill Walsh saying he drafted Joe Montana because had the best QB footwork since Joe Namath.
I watched a recent interview of Jayden Daniels at the combine being asked what he could of done better last season (an incredible year for JD) and Jayden said footwork. That his footwork at times could have been have been better as it relates to timing of the release of the pass.
Then Dan Orlovsky says Drake Maye's footwork needs improvement and that he needs to sit on the bench a year to learn to be an NFL QB.
Meantime Rich Eisen only cares about arm strength.
Interesting.

Here is another good QB prospects clip with Chris Simms. Chris has CW at #1 in a tier by himself. Next he has JD at #2, also in a tier by himself as a great prospect. His Tier 3 is populated by three or four prospects who he is not prepared to rank at this time. There are a lot of detailed observations in this clip.

Some "NFL Insiders" are saying that the first two picks in the draft are a lock with Chicago taking Caleb Williams at #1 and Washington taking Jayden Daniels at #2.

Apparently the great Ron Rivera thinks we should take Jayden Daniels so I would avoid him like the plague.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Not sure if we touched on this yet but JD opt not to do the weigh in at the combine

Kind of a red flag

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Jayden Daniels: The reigning Heisman Trophy winner was the only QB and one of just two combine prospects (LSU teammate Malik Nabers being the other) who did not get measurements taken. Both will do their measurements at LSU's Pro Day on March 27. With Daniels opting not to throw or undergo athletic testing, his measurements were going to be his biggest takeaway from Indianapolis, especially because of his slight frame. (He's listed as 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds on the LSU website). If Daniels ends up weighing less than 205 pounds, he'll join a group of QBs without much NFL success. In fact, only five signal-callers under that weight have started at least 14 games in a single season since 2000, according to Yahoo Sports.

he could have pulled a kyler murray . . . he gained 25 pounds for the combine weigh in . . . was up to 205 . . . but wouldn't run the 40 at that weight. then he dumped that weight as quickly as possible, but would not weigh in at his pro day and instead ran the 40 that day. very deceitful!! he is such a POS!!

He's probably worried about the old school NFL guidelines for QB measurables.

For QBs:
Height 6'2" or taller
Hands 9 1/2 " or longer
Weight 200+ LBS or heaver.

I suspect JD is under 200 lbs.
You can see he has the height. He's a brother so you know he has big hands. a 195 lb weigh in might be a red flag for some teams.


Fortunately teams don't seem hung up on this.
Bryce Young is under 6' and Burrow has girly hands.
JD can bulk up easily. You just can't hit QBs like you used to so I don't think it matters.

i agree but i also say he is not going be great at shrugging off defenders in the pocket; like say a big ben or josh allen type; maye be better suited for that

still i am jd fan

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

I have no reservations about drafting Jayden Daniels. He is a stud and I want him to be our QB.

I’ve heard rumors Caleb Williams does not want to play in Chicago.
Caleb and Jayden both said they like Washington’s coaching staff, especially since Caleb has a history with OC Klngsbury.
So this video was interesting in that could he be trying to get out of the #1 slot Chicago?

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

One thing you don’t hear at all is “who is the no 1 QB” on the board.

There is zero doubt Williams is much better prospect than JD.

JD seriously flawed like most QB prospects, but his weight should be a major concern.
