Is he still scheduled for a private workout tomorrow in Minnesota?

He’s the presumptive #2. I doubt we try to pry the 2 out of Washington’s hands. I think it’s more likely that this is for the chance that Washington does something unexpected and Daniels is the guy who falls within striking distance.

Now that Daniel Snyder is out, I don't see Washington trying to outsmart people or make some huge move.

Before they were a real wild card. They seem to be a little more rational then those days.

Maybe.

But they won't take Nabors at 2 to out smart everyone. That's more of what I'm saying.

Yes, they SHOULD be far more regular.

But they've already got two good receivers in McLaurin and Dotson.
They have two very good DL in Allen and Payne, plus another pass rush specialist signed this offseason in Armstrong.
Two RD2 picks and three RD3 picks.

Ready made if they don't fuck it up.

I find it interesting that Daniels agreed to meet with Minnesota this late in the process. Seems like Daniels to Washington is pretty much a lock.

He met with them because there are “Whispers” between the big boys that the Vikings are moving up to the 3rd pick and the deal is basically done.

A lot of the steam comes from Schefter basically leaking that the Commanders will take him. I have seen conversations and older tweets though that Adam isn’t exactly the ace of spades on draft leaks. He made a call a couple years ago that the 49ers were trading up for Mac Jones at pick 3. The 49ers did indeed trade up, but they picked Trey Lance instead.

This could be. They wouldn't want to go to 3 without knowing a guy they like will be there. Caleb Williams would both obviously be one and obviously not be available. We know they like Maye. If they decide that Daniels is worth it for them too, then there's nothing to stop them from moving up now if New England is willing to do so.

Bill Belichek said today that everything you hear at this time is all agents, media etc smoke.

He said teams don’t typically let on to what they are doing until about 12 hours until draft time.

Florio is reporting that Daniels' agent may not like Washington, and is telling the team to not draft him.

Washington brought all 4 qbs in at the same time, and never did a private workout with Daniels. His agent may be trying to dissuade Washington from taking him.

Vikings, in theory, could still have a chance at Daniels if Washington doesn't want to draft a disgruntled player.

This is a thing that seldom leaks, but agents do this. Not sure what the big problem with Washington is. They're hardly a perfect situation, but they're not completely bereft of talent either. Maybe it's a Dan Quinn thing? Maybe he doesn't want to go to a defensive coach? IDK...

This would actually be a scenario we do not want.

The Patriots like Daniels and will take him. If Maye goes #2 (The guy we want) Daniels will then go #3.

We want WASH to draft Daniels.

Unless we can pull the trade off before the draft. Before they know Daniels is avaliable.

It is odd Washington didn't bring the QB's in one at a time. Florio is speculating the owner is heavily involved, and wants to have a say in the pick.


Might be a red flag, along with a Defensive coach.


Knowing Minnesota is trying to move up, the agent could be trying to manipulate the draft. Better starting situation.

The best thing that could happen for us is someone taking JJ with a top 3 pick.

I don’t think it will happen but it would be EXACTLY what we need.

Imagine having to only get to #5 to get one of Daniels or Maye.

Here’s something more interesting. Daniel’s agent retweeted Florio’s tweet about that report and another tweet that wondered why Washington would care about players interacting with each other when they will never play together.

That puts Washington in a tough spot, how do you take a kid that doesn't want to play for you? Not a good spot off the rip. Maybe he is trying to wiggle his way to Minnesota.

He's the only QB I'm super high on actually trading up for. The top end talent and what that could become is just too good.

Wow, that's a juicy nugget as well. I'm actually noticing a little flame appear from this smoke. But I do agree with RT, if Washington goes Maye and rumors are true about the Pats want Daniels, that would be bad for the Vikes. This is likely why the Pats won't trade their pick until they see who the Commanders take 1st, (unless we blow them away with an offer before hand). All this going off the information at hand, just an educated guess.

I don't understand why wait until draft day if you want one of the top three picks. Make the trade today and you are guaranteed either Maye or Daniels unless you only want one of them.

Because NE will stick and pick if it's the QB that they want. Rumors are that they are enamored with Daniels. I hope I'm wrong on this as I'd love to have Daniels on the Vikings.
