Apparently there is "league-wide consensus" that Daniels is the QB2 of this draft. I put that in quotes because nobody professes to know whether Peters agrees with that "consensus". But there you have it. That's the most we're going to get until likely Thursday.

It’s going to be funny watching all the talking heads doing the moonwalk this weekend lol

The beta format was notably superior in every way and remained the standard for pro use for decades after it left the consumer sector. But marketing rules the day in consumer electronic and Panasonic/JVC/Matsu****a sold rights to VHS to manufacturers for next to nothing whereas Sony vote to try to keep beta manufacturing much more to themselves as the higher quality offering ( a strategy that had worked very well for them in radios and especially tvs, especially with their "Trinitron" models of the day. 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓😛

I have all the respect in the world for Keim, but at this point in the game, I see no reason why anyone would leak to him where guys sit on the board.  I see more reason to feed the media with false information from a strategic perspective.

Challenge:

 

Predict the top 5 picks (with trades) for bragging rights.

 

1. Bears take Caleb

2. Commanders take Daniels

3. Vikings trade with Patriots and take Maye

4. Arizona takes MHJ

5. Giants trade with Chargers and take McCarthy

 

EDIT-

Contest Scoring System-

You get 1 point for correctly picking the first pick.

5 points for correctly picking the Commanders pick (it has to be the most points we’re on a Commanders forum).

3 points each for correctly picking the 3rd, 4th, and 5th draft picks.

Bonus of 2 points for every correctly predicted trade. (You must be correct on both the teams that trade and the player selected).

 

 

 

1. Bears - Caleb

2. Commanders - McCarthy

3. Patriots - Maye

4. Cardinals - MHJ

5. Vikings trade with Chargers - Daniels

Curious which channel everyone prefers for draft coverage?

 

Normally I stick to NFL Network, but was just watching command center and apparently Peters and Quinn will be making comments right after each pick...

Wow, Jayden over Caleb. He must really love him as a prospect. 

[KDawg]

It’s going to be Daniels. And I’m going to need to constantly reassure myself that we didn’t pass on quarterbacks that can survive and that Daniels isn’t necessarily RG3. 
 

that's my biggest hang up and as we get closer I like the idea less and less.

 

My mantra will be, “just think what he can do if he’s healthy, just think what he can do if he’s healthy…”

WOW! Jayden Daniels is now over -300 to get picked 2nd and Drake Maye is -200 to get picked 3rd.

Just repeat in your mind that maybe he is so skinny the laws of physics do not apply to him. Kinda like punching a feather floating in the air.

He mentioned in his interview a nutrionist is working with him to put on another 10-15 pounds but was told to do it gradually.

 

You are the weight lifter here, any thoughts what you would do on that front?

[Birdlives]

Well if you’re going to predict something might as well be as wild as possible; at least with picks 2-5 obviously 1 is in stone.

 

1. Chi Williams

 

2. Minn Maye

3. LA Chargers Harrison Jr.

4. AZ Malik

5.Oak Daniels

 

in this scenario we trade out with Minny, after they swap picks with Atlanta for the tampering charge. We get 8, 23, 2024 3rd, 2025 1st & 3rd

 

The Pats trade back twice so the Chargers can jump AZ and the Raiders who love Daniels.

NFL is not the same without Mayock for me. I likely go ESPN with Kiper and then probably online with PFF or Bootleg Football.

That top 5 is pretty much a lock at this point. But there are reports coming out that the Pats are now putting #3 up for sale.

They are putting 3 up for sale because they don't want JD. 😁

It’s tricky. He’s a mid 20’s male athlete who has had top flight nutritionists available to him since at least 2018.

 

Adding muscle mass is doable, and adding it gradually will help, but it’s tricky. Some guys put on weight and lose a lot of their quickness, even if the speed remains. Some do it so we’ll you barely notice.

 

He certainly can add good weight to his frame. He has the room for it. But he has to be careful. The reason he’s so highly touted is his ability to make plays with his legs.

 

His smart move is to slowly fade away from being a runner - stop me if you’ve heard that from someone before - and become a bit bigger and a pocket passer. That increases his longevity tenfold. But that transition should really be through his rookie contract.

 

The discipline to do that is… not common. And he’s had the opportunity to do it while in college and hasn’t. 
 

I don’t know.

 

I keep coming back to the “well, if he’s healthy you’re going to be so happy they picked him” and it’s reassuring as hell.

 

Until the cynical side of my brain says, “ya, but what if he’s not?”

Or he has been fed info and is helping the team by claiming him the best in the draft. Regardless. I think the decision has been made at this point. Just too many people saying the same thing to ignore it anymore. I am fine with it being Daniels. Watching him run is going to be awesome.

He doesn’t work for the team or keep up with any of the hype. He is fairly checked out. Watched a bunch of tape past few weeks to land on these rankings

JJ is on the rise. I hope it’s him. He would be a perfect teammate that always puts the team first. He has good athleticism, good accuracy, strong arm. He’s used to cold weather. He’s going to work his butt off to be the best he can be.

[HoggLife]

I somehow ended up on page 2 and was reading about Miami possibly trading for Watson and us in a 3 way trade getting Tua. It was like waking up after a bad nightmare.
