PCS Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Welcome to the Commanders young man. Have fun. CBS.com Player Page Quote Draft Scouting Report: Rating: 76.77 (Chance to start) Pro Comparison: Joe Haeg Accolades: 2022: First-team All-Pac-12 2022: Zero sacks allowed on 490 pass block snaps Summary: Braeden Daniels is a lighter offensive tackle with long arms. He does a good job of adjusting his hands when engaged but can do a better job of sinking his hips to absorb pressure. Daniels does a good job of playing angles and sealing run lanes. His versatility having played three positons will make him a hot commodity. Strengths: Good use of his hands, adjusts his hands when engaged Does a good job of playing angles and sealing run lanes Great versatility having played three positions Good mobility to combat quicker edge rushers NFL.com Draft Profile BRAEDEN DANIELS UTAH G HEIGHT 6’ 4’’ WEIGHT 294 lbs ARM 33’’ HAND 9 3/8’’ Production Score 63 2023 Combine G Rank: 13th Athleticism Score *est 80 2023 Combine G Rank: 7th Total Score 73 2023 Combine G Rank: 13th Combine Results u-unofficial 40-Yard Dash 4.99 Seconds. 10-Yard Split 1.71 Seconds Vertical Jump 30.5’’ Broad Jump. 9’ 1’’ 3-Cone Drill 7.53 Seconds 20-Yd Shuttle 4.6 Seconds Quote NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 4 NFL Comparison Hakeem Adeniji Overview Active, athletic offensive lineman offering room for development at guard or tackle. Daniels is an impactful down blocker with the quickness to handle zone-blocking duties. Firing out and sustaining drive blocks, however, will require much better patience and footwork to keep from whiffing or falling off blocks. Small hands prevent him from latching in as a run blocker or in pass protection, but flurrying hands and a tenacious mirror help him stay in front of rushers. Position versatility and correctable issues could raise Daniels’ draft profile as a middle-rounder with upside. Strengths Crashes into down block with momentum and leverage. Plays with decent bend and athleticism. Lateral quickness to play a gap over as move blocker. Potential to become an effective work-up blocker. Instinctive and intelligent in protection. Tenacious to mirror and jab throughout the rep. Recovers quickly when he gets beat. Squeezes B-gap with effective pass-and-receive twist defense. *Click Link For More* 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I had him as IOL9 and OT9. I think his upside at tackle is much higher though. Has a top 3 ceiling for this class. Floor is about where I ranked him (in my opinion) Love the player. As this is his welcome thread I’ll save criticism suited for the team to another thread. For Daniel’s himself? I’m excited to see him play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 That's where I've been with these threads too. Don't always agree with the picks,(go figure), but keep the welcome spirit of the thread in mind. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvernon Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Project to play behind Leno for a year, and if he doesn't look like the LT for next year then you draft a LT in round 1 2024. I'm good with this. Day 1 and 2 is for finding near-immediate starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starry Plough Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Watched the video midweek myself and did the same (Re the title) as Trent he is not. 🤣 Really like this pick all the same, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Pre-Draft Analysis Daniels started 18 games at left guard, 14 at left tackle and 11 at right tackle in college. He ran one of the fastest 40 times for an offensive lineman at the combine, and his quickness stands out on tape. Daniels can protect the edge, despite having short arms for an offensive tackle, and has the foot speed to mirror when his footwork is sound. He possesses the agility and range to develop into an effective zone blocker. -- Steve Muench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think this seals it, EB wants an athletic OL. Last season we couldn't run screens cause the Guards couldn't get out into space. Definitely not the case for the future of this OL. Guys like Torrence weren't going to be selected as they wouldn't be scheme fits. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Dude is 295# and doesn't have long arms. Can he catch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggLife Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 So I read that Daniels once waited in line for 9 hours to get Tony Romo's autograph and Tony finished signing right before they got to him. So now he wants to destroy the Cowboys. 2 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morneblade Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I'd like to see him add 15-20 pounds, but I do like his athleticism. Hope for a diamond in the rough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I came to that conclusion as well, just kinda hit me when I started looking at the FA linemen we took, and then this draft. Of course, now I'm panicking a little, because I see that style of finesse offense getting blown up in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 6-3.5, 294 seems very small for a tackle. I think he ends up as a versatile backup but hopefully I’m wrong and he can develop into a starter somewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an excellent athlete and that should offset some of the worries about length (33” is arguably still in the acceptable range) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemp nixon Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Daniels kinda seems like a more athletic Charles Leno. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually my prior post is off. 33 inches is well off the tackle need. His arms are shorter than Scherff’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
