Glad Maye didn't go to the Giants, but he just got sacrificed to the football gods going to NE.

Sorry buddy.

Awesome to get a guy of this caliber at #2.

Personally I had him as the highest ceiling in the draft, so I luv the pick

Kliff just got the ultimate toy to play with. His playbook is wide open

GMAP putting his stamp on the team too

Lets Go!

LETS GO!

Welcome to da squad!

Pick is in

Daym, Caleb just blew by the selfie cam lol.

They just handing us JD on ESPN

and they are drooling over him during Calebs segment.

WILD

That manning commercial is hilarious

Prospect straight up kills commish dummy w/ that hug

Its draft time people!

ESPN broadcast

The first guy in line was posing for pics when they were about to start the anthem and Daniels stopped him to make sure he was ready for the anthem.

Nice bit of "Leadership"

Almost there people.

Prepping my happy dance as we speak.

If your a fan of any QB prepare thy-selves because the second they are a NY Giant I'm spewing all the bile in their direction lol.

That was cool and great to watch.

Got him good too.

Some of yall, must like heartburn lol.

Steering into the iceburg

Avengers blip was the scariest thing I will go thru today. Lol

Feeling great about tonight

That's why I've got us drafting Sam Hartman's Hair in the 6th, and the rest of Sam in the 7th. 

Man is a walking QB controversy. As a dude who is confident in his straightness I can say he is too good lookin'.

Get ugly or bust. You can't look like that and be an NFL QB. Its not fair to the rest of us.

I don't see us or the Pats trading out.

Final check in on the mock draft world has us taking JD in 75% of mocks over the last week. That's the high-watermark for the entire process.

I hope Peters puts this on a 100 inch screen and tapes Jayden's eyes open and says "See this!  Do not do this!"

Yup

Will Levis has the worst protective instinct I have ever seen at QB. Its non-existent.

That clip did not even show his worst one and the lowest football IQ play in the NFL last year

Absolute inverse of what we need to see from JD

We eating good when it comes to prospect access near draft day.

Here is some insight on what JD goes through at mealtime

Quick hitters

-He eats beef!

-Didn't care about nutrition until LSU

-Working with a nutritionist to continue to build.

-Luvs honey buns

Lots of good meat on the bone in this one

Couple of highlights for me

-Said all these draft QBs have similar skillsets of being athletic, so JD does not comp to himself any harder than the other guys

-Said he personally talked to JD about protecting himself better. Acknowledged that he himself was poor at sliding and when he finally reached that "ah ha" moment of needing to slide more in his own career, it was 2013 and the knee brace made it difficult.

-Had a cool introspective about progressions and the virtual reality Jayden uses. It forces him to process faster by only making information available for a short period.

-Spoke about how fast you gotta take info in at the NFL level, otherwise you get sacked. Spoke of JDs ability to eliminate routes from his tree based on coverage, which speeds you up

Same place I've been the whole time.

We come outta this w/ a blue chip QB I'm good. There are several available. Its like having a bunch of fish in a barrel. Can't miss.

If we somehow walk outta without a blue chip QB... I got beef and its everybody's problem.

Don’t give up hope. Maybe he’ll hit puberty over the summer. 😞

I'm pretty sure Laron Landry went thru like puberty like 4 times.

I'm just saying its possible

If JD isn’t willing to take the vet min plus incentives, I don’t want him here. 

A rookie who wants VETERAN minimum?!

The absolute nerve!

Take him off the draft board!

He has to keep saying it for the people in the back

Text from tweet:

Reporter: “There’s speculation that you may not want to go to Washington. Do you want to just squash that?”

Jayden Daniels: “I’m blessed to go wherever I’m called. Whoever calls my phone, (when the) commissioner gets up and says my name, I’ll be blessed, and they’re going to get my all.”

Reporter (later): “To clarify, would you be OK being drafted by Washington?”

JD: “Yeah. 100 percent.”

During the lengthy interview, Daniels repeatedly said he’s not sure what to expect tomorrow night and wants to go as high as possible.

From the same interview that the tweet quotes.

Peeps just taking headline sensationalism and running with it to fit a narrative.

He was directly asked about QBs that could run, and responded in kind. And as you posted, he and the article itself even clarified that he was more than just a running guy.

Quote

I'd be remiss not to talk about Daniels' ability as a passer. While he's a prolific runner, Daniels is even better at throwing the football. At LSU, Daniels made every throw you can draw up while taking advantage of a deep receiving corps that included likely first-round picks Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. 

Total nothingburger in terms of things to worry about in that article, unless you scissor snippets out of context as some people have just to make it fit your point.

Speaking of snipping things out of context from that article, you guys wanna know what passage I liked?

Quote

Daniels acknowledged that NFL teams have told him they "want me to be smarter about the hits that I take." 

 

"They know I'm very competitive," Daniels said. "You want to think that you can beat that guy and get that extra five yards, or maybe if you beat him you go down the sideline for 60. 

 

"When to get down, when to not. There's a balance." 

YES. Yes to all of that.

Recognize and work on it my guy

People who are in the Jayden Daniels camp and can’t fathom why anyone would be worried:

 

Can you not see people’s concerns with Daniels?

I have repeatedly and unsubtle-ly recommended that he be hunted like human game by a slide coach who just happens to be a near religious zealot in his determination to see Jayden improve his slide form. 

Jayden has flaws and concerns. I see a bunch.

I would honestly question the evaluation ability of someone was to review a prospect and not come away with a laundry list of issues on any project.

if there is so much concern about injury risk, why wouldn't you take Maye over Daniels?  

 

In regards to injury possibility specifically, while JD is the bigger injury risk, I feel much better going in that direction when the other guy is also a decent candidate to get his head taken off at the next level as well. Maye sux at protecting himself too and has seen his way to the blue tent all the same. Kinda helps mitigate that specific fear when its gonna be a problem regardless... if that makes sense.

We are gonna make other teams defend every blade of grass. Exciting to think about.
