Good question & humble pie time - just watched highlights package and really it was impressive - a whole lot better than the small sample size I originally saw. For me that distance just shrunk a bunch TBH

From the limited tape I saw, had the same conclusion as Voice of Reason: McCarthy looks to me, well behind Daniels & Maye. As an admitted novice, I thought Daniels protection was better than Maye's; he seemed to have plenty of time in the pocket & was good at exploiting the gaps that opened up and had the confidence to wait for that. Obviously won't have that luxury at the top level but shows smarts & quick thinking. An absolute athlete on the run, and evasive, but how sustainable with the body size? Would need a stellar protection scheme. Also had a couple of "go to" guns out wide. It's hard not to think Maye's size would be more attractive to a re-building franchise. Too simplistic? Strikes me he's basically got the solid skills to invest around & like was mentioned, had nowhere near the protection Daniels enjoyed, but generally handled the pressure ok. Much enjoy the banter in here. can't wait for all to be revealed. O

Couldn't agree more with this summary, after much reflection on what we genuinely needed for the franchise at this stage.

It's real, after all these years BUT we have a very decent owner & now GM who know the criteria of what they want. They'll get their best guy

Yes. Looks like it to me.

And this kind of game, ladies & gents, is known as a coach-killer.

A shout out to the guys here who kept the flame burning for soooo long & through some downright awful times. Guys like SkinsInParadise and the like. Finally this gorilla is off our back This coming season already feels so much better

Haha nice one ClaytoAli Like y'all, can hardly believe this is happening. Tomorrow I will wake up & it will STILL be real.

Long time since I posted..... The moment I realised this is actually happening in my lifetime.... (old beatles song comes to mind).... (Yeah it dates me) Little darlin', 'it's been a long, cold, lonely winter Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, do dn do do Here comes the sun, and I say It's alright Little darlin', the smile's returning to their faces Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been here and so on.... Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting..... Sun sun sun here it comes....

Whew!!! Exhale... been trawling every day waiting for news on this. Really stoked for Terry (& family) & thoroughly deserves the very good deal he's got. Kudos to the front office for doing the right thing, ahem.....cough cough (Did I really just say that?) Now let's rock the Casbah

Yep I'm the same Spearhead, very much looking forward to witnessing Dotson's NFL growth & talent.

Thanks HTT Skins, that tape breakdown on Howell was excellent to see - although QB ability & smarts at this level are a rare find, you can see from this tape example that the Commanders like the potential they're getting with this pick.

Hey all, new (overseas) boy to these boards, love all the opinion & emotion; after watching Jahan's film & interviews, will not be surprised if he has a very decent career & rocks it in the burgandy & gold. The kid carries a football around with him 24/7, lives & breathes it, since 4 years old he said. If character equals success, this kid will have it. Can't wait to see him in action. Sure it's early days, but quietly confident about our picks so far.

I'm a white guy living outside of the States but have visited many times. I could never understand why Colin Kaepernick was vilified & basically barred from the NFL for taking the knee. And now I see Roger Goodell crying crocodile tears over the current situation. I'm sorry but I have great difficulty with him as a credible voice at the moment. Reinstating Kaepernick would be quite a significant statement, however.
