2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

Worrying about Daniels being like RG3 is the same type thing Houston avoided by taking Stroud and not worrying about the OSU QB success in the past. I don't think they're that similar. Don't even think their running styles are that similar.

Really hoping we end up with him.

The RG 3 comparison is very fair.
Both slightly built Uber athletic QBs that win the Heisman trophy.

I’m a die hard LSU fan and have watched every game. I invite you all to watch both FSU vs LSU games he played. They are the best referral of Daniels game.
You can see how raw, and poor QB skills he has, and how much of a run first athlete he is in the first FSU game. You can see how much he matures over the first year, and becomes a better QB in the second game.

He lost both games. Not only that, he was our played at the position by FSU.

He is a 1 read and tuck it QB, just like RG3. Cannot diagnose presnap read and go through the route tree progressions. He has his hot read and tucks it 9/10 plays.

I understand the excitement, but must present the caveat emptor.

I don't think you can sell a LSU (and Commanders) fan on Daniels either way. You've definitely watched way more his work than me, but I'm still on the train.

Also, FSU was way better than LSU, across the board. And Jordan Travis was a bad-ass college QB.

No sales here, my friend. Born in Bethesda Naval hospital, and raised in Henson, VA. I’ve live in NO and rooted for LSU since Katrina. Redskins till I die.

Only presenting the facts. I wanted Daniels to be the man, he is not.

Great kid, athlete, person. Far from an elite NFL QB.
It would be wise to trade out of the #2 for a Kings ransom

Thank you! I don't feel any of the QBs are worthy of a top 2 pick, and if we have any takers (which I have a keen idea there will be buyers) wanting our #2 pick then we should swap and load up on picks.

I don't wanna slide down too far in the first round, so hopefully it's a team in top 7.

You make an interesting argument for not drafting Daniels. Who do you like at qb then at the 2 selection or a trade down? Daniels is bigtime for production in the SEC, but I do worry about the injury factor and if he can consistently hit NFL passes in tight windows with his arm strength. Not gonna lie. Maye's physical attributes appeal to me. Kid is supposed to have a cannon, is big, and can run. This draft and offseason is going to be fun. Could be seismic for this franchise.

I would not take a QB at 2.
I would want to bend someone over the barrel and walk away with bookend tackles and a host of other picks/needs.

Draft a QB in 2nd or 3rd and maybe scrape Fields up for a song. He’s every bit as explosive as Daniels athletically, and probably as good a passer as well.

Dude threw 40TDs and has poor QB skills?
You are oversimplifying the comparison because they both run.
You said it yourself, he matures over the year and becomes a better QB later in the year.
He has all the tools and is the only QB out of the top 3 that actually played his best last year.

Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure. How many of those TDs were against Army, or Louisiana Monroe?

Oversimplifying, ok. I can except that. But so are you with your “40 TD” stat.

Well, if I my eyes are not deceiving me, I saw him make a beautiful slide after a long run. Something RG3 never, ever learned. So no, not at all like RG3.

It all depends on what we can get to trade down .. if we are talking Extra 1st , this years 2cnd & 3rd then we gotta do that ..All the QB except Williams are reaches at the number 2 pick .. One of them will bust and the other will be average at best . When we can take 10 year pro bowl tackle and with extra pick solidify the O line for years ..( get 3 very low risk top starters for one player that is a 50/50 chance of not working out . I would take that and draft a Bo Nix in the 2cnd/3rd round .. we have options ( maybe bears don't draft Williams and he is there ) I realize all picks are Risk however it seems QB is the hardest to get right ..

Agree almost 100%

Williams is not worthy of 2 overall either.

[WCommandersfan99]

It will be fascinating to see what we do at 2. The options will be high. I do think there is a good chance that we WILL be offered a king's ransom for that selection. Issue with that is who is our qb going forward? Talent drops significantly after Williams, Daniels, Maye. Don't wanna trade for Fields at all. Roll with Howell which I doubt this new regime does? Safest bet is to take Maye. He has all the physical skills. Basically a Justin Herbert who can run. Kid was a 5 star coming out of hs. Uber talented. Less risk with him than Daniels. Bigger and stronger arm.
