Fit: I recognize that this is more of a me thing than reading any tea leaves from the league, but I still have a difficult time grasping that Jayden Daniels is in serious consideration as a top-five pick given the issues in his game. If there’s a place where it would make sense, it would be playing for Kliff Kingsbury’s spread offense with the Washington Commanders — after trading down and accumulating more draft capital for the rebuild.
Daniels is reminiscent of Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields, Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III – in the sense that he has two modes of play. As a runner, he’s dynamic and brings elite speed and creativity that defenses must be prepared for. As a passer, though, those quick twitch muscles don’t translate to pocket navigation — and there are accuracy and anticipation issues that limit how much you can put on his plate. At least in Washington, Kingsbury can use his quarterback run game and stripped-down passing game to maximize Daniels better than in other situations.
