In all the various mock drafts, is their one player you'd HATE for the Skins to draft at 15?

Charlie Casserly's top QB (other than Murray who he says he keeps off to the side) is Daniel Jones. What do you know about him that Casserly doesn't?

U asking me? If so I think Jones is a solid QB comparable to an Alex Smith. Smart kid that doesn't take many big chances , can move well for his size. Lacks arm strength for deeper routes. He's been coached up by a great College QB coach / system but some are not high on him due to his underwhelming tape.

Sorry, i didn't quote - I was actually asking the guy who created the thread since Jones was his player. Casserly thinks Jones is the most pro-ready QB in this years draft, so he would be the QB most likely to cause an immediate positive impact to the team, so i was surprised he was the OP's choice.

Personally, QB is just about the last position I want us to draft at 15, but if we did draft one, Jones would be my choice above Haskins and Lock.

I think they will take one of the 3 for sure come Thurs.

Whether you're right or not about DJ, I really enjoyed reading your response. You made a clear, coherent case for your opinion of his potential. That's what I like about the debate on this site - knowledgeable posters with strong opinions and the ability to back them up.

Thanks KI! There is no site like WP, everyone is knowledgeable on this page. I have been a member since High School (damn I'm old) and its made being a Redskins fan during a dark and sad time much easier.

I know nothing more than Casserly, and probably a lot less. But as a Louisville Cardinal fan, that closely watched the ACC, I think the game results for Daniel Jones leave a lot to be desired.

Against teams with NFL talent ...

2018 ...

at Clemson -- 24 of 43, 158 yards, 0 TD's, 0 INTs (Duke loss)
at Miami -- 17 of 35, 130 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT (a win for Duke btw)

The rest of that schedule ... he's pedestrian at best against "ok" defenses.

2017 ....

at Virginia Tech -- 10 of 24, 82 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT (Duke loss)
vs Florida State -- 22 of 35, 204 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs (FSU kinda sucked that year too) (Duke loss)
vs Miami -- 21 of 41, 166 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT (Duke loss)
vs Baylor -- 20 of 35, 184 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT (a win for Duke)

The rest of that schedule is again, pedestrian.


I mean, he's a big kid. Probably a great kid. But is THIS the resume of a first round pick????

He feels like a HUGE reach to me.

Underwhelming.


We have so many needs, that can be better filled at this spot, than drafting Daniel Jones as our QB. In my opinion.
