Also a tough, competitive, fiery teammate with elite mobility traits. So nothing like Mac Jones, aside from accuracy.Who actually has an arm.

Isn’t it always? I’m trying to think of that last few QB picks where I was certain they’d be great in the NFL. Stafford and Luck? Can’t think of anyone else.Agreed. It is a huge projection.
He'll also be 24 in December, has a slight build that might not be able to add much more weight/muscle, his arm strength is actually no better than Mac Jones, and he had a solid OL and excellent talent at WR. At least Maye (who probably had the least talented offense of all the first 2 round QB's in this draft class) and McCarthy have much stronger arms than Daniels and are mobile and young enough to sit for their rookie seasons while they are coached-up and talent on the rest of the offense is improved between this draft and the 2025 free agency period and draft.My only concern with Daniel’s is how much of his success came last season, which can be seen as an odd criticism, but I downgrade players older players against younger player. I consider 23 year olds to be men, and 18-20 kids. I put more stock in a prospect getting it done against his own age. Daniels production is exceptional, and he’s Lee twice to watch. It would be a blast to watch him as the Apatriots QB, and there s a good chance he plays well as a pro, but I would give him more credit if he did it when he was 21 against 18-20 year old players.

Dude is the most overhyped player of this draft. Had a dominant—a DOMINANT OL—and was asked to do far less than a guy like Spencer Rattler.
Washington may just be doing their due diligence, like the Pats are.I am not convinced that Washington takes Daniels, if their minds were made up they wouldn't have the QB's in this week. I really have a feeling they take Maye. I have talked myself into being ok with Daniels, I have always been OK with JJ at 3 and now I am warming to the idea of trading down. I think its going to be a good draft night in 9 days.

Any team that needed a QB and didn't send scouts to multiple games of all the top QBs committed malpractice.People are putting too much into some quotes from Harbaugh. It really has nothing to do with that for teams. It's about how he measured at the combine, how he's already put on muscle in the offseason, how he's already showing that he's working on his throwing mechanics to improve a couple flaws, how he interviewed with teams, and what teams saw on film while prepping for the draft. The combine measurements and interviews probably being the most important factors.
It's not like teams all thought he wasn't good and then Harbaugh said "hey dudes this guy actually is good" and every GM and front office in the NFL said "oh golly we didn't notice, hey guys let's start checking this unknown McCarthy guy out"
What I've heard, though, is that, while Mahomes can maintain the pass option when running, Daniels doesn't throw once he starts running.Agree completely. That gives them their choice between Maye and Daniels.
What I see when I watch Mahomes is a guy playing quarterback like he’s an NBA point guard just making easy passe, but who can get you the first down with his legs whenever he needs to: that’s the same type of play I see from Daniels. I’m not saying he’s going to be Mahomes anymore than I think Mayecwill become Brady, but stylistically it’s similar. I still think the best comp for Daniels is Randall Cunningham,
He'd be going from the national championship college team to the third worst NFL team. He won't be surrounded by the sort of talent he had at Michigan. We haven't seen him deal with the kind of adversity that would await him in New England.McCarthy is the only prospect who ran a pro style offense under Harbaugh and won the college football national championship. Other than that he hasn't produced .
Drafting either of them at 3 would be a colossal blunder.Anyway, drafting McCarthy over Maye at 3 would be a colossal blunder.
He's been hands down the best QB from that class, and it's not even close. Is he a superstar yet? No. But there's a reason the best QB usually gets taken at 1, while all the others are copium from QB-bereft teams.Lawrence was supposed to be guaranteed. Has not worked out yet.

Hadn’t heard that, but ts relevant information , as Mahomes uses perceived runs to get defenders to bite and then hits the receivers that open up for good gains, usually first downs. From what I have watched of Daniels it does seem that when he takes off he’s committed to the run and takes big chunks of yardage at a time.What I've heard, though, is that, while Mahomes can maintain the pass option when running, Daniels doesn't throw once he starts running.
I wasn't sold on him, but it seems he's achieved "good" status so far. 2022 was a better year for him than 2023, though.Lawrence was supposed to be guaranteed. Has not worked out yet.
