Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

Luke McCaffrey has the second best 3 cone drill time among WR.

The 3-cone drill at the NFL Combine, also known as the L-drill, is designed to measure speed, agility, change of direction, body control among other traits

Perfect for slot type WRWow impressive stuff. Yes eager to see what he can do. I could see him being an Adam Peters home run selection in a later round.

I don't care about 40 times at all, as long as he catches the ball with minimal drops and collects first downs and touchdowns like they're going out of style. And his blocking gotta be good too. If he ran 4.6 but did all that I'd love the pick.

I think there is a disconnect as people think speed means separation. Freaks like desean Jax and t hill…of course it’s the speed, but most successful WR use technique and route running to gain separation.

it's a mix for sure - most straight track guys don't do super well. Usually WRs need a move/fake or some quick change of direction to be really successful.

I also like the fact that Luke McCaffrey is 6'2". We need taller wrs as Terry and Dotson aren't super tall although both talented. Ed McCaffrey was a pretty darn good NFL receiver for a long time. Cannot hurt at all. Interested to see what Luke can do here.

Looks like Forbes has dropped behind Mike Davis and is running with the 2s. My unpopular prediction for camp is that Forbes is traded if we're lucky and cut if we're not.

We don't have enough decent CBs to give up on a 1st pick so quickly. He needs some good coaching and confidence before we can see what he will become.
More likely Mathis, Davis, Forrest, Brown and Butler are traded/cut as they appear surplus to needs. Not that any of them will fetch much beyond a late round pick swap.

All those guys are ahead of Forbes at this point. If the choice is any of those guys or Forbes, Forbes will be cut.

I'm not sure Forbes is in danger of being cut given the lack of depth at the position. As for Daniels he is the reason I will be pumped on opening day. I pray, well I don't actually pray about anything, but my fear he is hurt early and we won't know what we have as we watch our season go down the drain in September. Please do not let this happen football Gods, we deserve this one.
