Daniels didn't meet with any teams before his Pro-day, all interviews were scheduled for after the throwing session. Maye is meeting multiple teams before his session. Patriots are sending that same massive horde of brass. They sure don't strike me as a team that is doing the things of an outfit that is gonna trade out of the #3 spot. They are doing all the homework.

He had a bursa sac injury in 2022. I don't know when that pic was taken, but it is an injury he has had. There was a time where he had a bandage on his elbow, I'm assuming it was related. I never knew why he had it b4, just thought it was rugburn or something. He either got it drained or fixed at some point as he stopped wearing the bandage.

I agree that he has a long way to go in regards to the fundamentals and decision making side of the game, but they are all gambles so that part does not scare me very much for any prospect outside of those with an established history of getting injured. I'm not one of them, but there are plenty of peeps who see Drake having a higher ceiling and if that's your view, why not roll the dice on higher upside? He's got a bunch of great tools to work with. Just gotta find a coach who wants to play Frankenstein and "put his brain in that body" lol.

The Giants are one of the teams that are in line to meet w/ Daniels today, but I think it is interesting that they went out to dinner w/ Nabers last night. I think they are kinda screwed when it comes to getting a top QB and are preparing for the inevitability of having to take a WR. If the opportunity to get one of those guys comes, sure they pounce, but I don't think its gonna happen for them... which is just aces for me.

Saw the throws. I did not care much about whatever his weight would be and I didn't have any questions about his arm strength so I didn't glean much from that stuff. Already loved the release n footwork so seeing him work against air is just checking a box. What did jump out to me was the atmosphere and vibe. It was pointed out in the broadcast too. I have not watched a ton of Pro Days, but usually it feels like the tension in the air could be cut w/ a knife. Like the weight of the world was on every guys shoulders not to screw up. Here, everybody was happy.

I don't think its just the idea that he gets you wins faster. Its more the idea that he sees that one guy is already a prospect that can offer high level impact and even if he personally believes Maye has a higher ceiling, you'd have to pass over someone who you know can perform at a high level for a prospect who is never guaranteed to reach said ceiling. Bird in the hand kinda thing. as for the more general debate As someone who has not put a ton of stock in JDs weight, whatever he comes in at will not change how I plan on teaching the guy.

Running the 40 is like throwing at the combine for somebody in JDs position. What does he have to gain? Nothing. Everybody knows he's fast. He's not opening any new eyes in that department. Whats would it cost? Weeks of tearing your body apart to do well on a test you'll never have to take again. We all hope he runs one, cuz fun numbers and data, but whether it happens, I'm skeptical. For QBs who don't have unquestioned speed its a lil different. You can absolutely give your stock a bump w/ a good performance.

Aiyuk is awesome but yeah, that move would feel like a luxury right now. I'd rather pick up a draft guy (who is hopefully on the taller side to fill in holes in our lineup)
