On Wednesday, the Commanders welcomed four top quarterback prospects to their facility for visits. The reason behind this has sparked speculation among fans and pundits alike, with the owner’s availability being one possible explanation. However, it appears that LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, who is expected to be the second overall pick in the draft, may not have been pleased with the situation. His agent, Ron Butler, shared a PFT Live clip about the quarterback visits with an emoji that suggested he was considering something.
This has led to curiosity surrounding what Daniels and his agent may be thinking. Interestingly, on Thursday morning, Butler revealed that the Vikings were having a private workout with Daniels in Baton Rouge following his visit to Washington. This has fueled suggestions in NFL circles that Daniels may not be interested in playing for the Commanders. If that is the case, would the team still select him at No. 2 overall?
Prior to these recent events, there were already beliefs that the Commanders might not ultimately choose Daniels at No. 2. The team could decide to trade down in the draft or select a different player. The decision-makers in Washington are likely weighing their options and assessing the quarterbacks who visited on Wednesday. If any doubt is detected from Daniels about joining the team, it could impact their choice.
It is challenging for a player to openly express their desires in such situations. This could lead them to appear uninterested or decline private workouts or make subtle moves behind the scenes. It is unclear whether the Commanders have conducted a private workout with Daniels as no reports have confirmed one yet. The decision to bring in multiple quarterbacks for visits in one day has generated significant interest and speculation among fans.
This decision holds immense importance for Washington franchise as it will significantly impact their future they are guaranteed to select a quarterback in first round of draft whether it’s Daniels at No 2 or another player at No 2 or any other later on.
The coming week will provide clarity on direction commanders will take in Quarterback draft until then fans and analysts will continue analyzing this situation and predicting teams next move
