Nope. Williams, Maye, Daniels. Without a crystal ball they are all the same to me. Keep the picks.

IMO the best case scenrio is Harrison Jr goes 1 to Chicago, then Everything falls in our lap

Absolutely the best case. And, if the coaches decide there are two they like equally, this would let them try to get some draft capital out of New England.

Doesn't matter what we'd do, if Peters decides the only way to get his guy is to move up to #1, by all means do it. That said, moving up doesn't seem like it would really be his style. We'll have plenty of options at #2.

I'm going to guess that out of these two, plus Caleb, 2 out of the 3 will flame out. We've seen it too many times.

I like that Daniels seems to keep getting better and better and better. From where he was at Az State to where he is now is night and day. He had some massive games against SEC teams.

Yeah, Daniels is the guy I want if we stick at No. 2 and he's available.

Green flags: I've never seen him with painted nails or in his mommy's arms in the stands.

I want a fuckin' bad ass alpha man's man that's mentally tough as nails, he's football almost 24-7. I just don't get that vibe from Caleb.

[skinsfan69]

I'm still taking Penix and getting another guy. If you could get Harrison and Penix. Or one of the tackles and Penix. I'm going that route.

[sdskinsfan2001]

O-line is fixed. Someone picked Penix before our 2nd round pick.

2. Olumuyiwa Fashanu - OT - Penn State
36. Jordan Morgan - OT - Arizona
40. Cooper Beebe - OG - Kansas State
67. Christian Haynes - OG - UConn
96. Michael Pratt - QB - Tulane
98. Junior Colson - LB - Michigan
132. Drake Nugent - OC - Michigan
163. Jaylin Simpson - CB - Auburn
194. Tatum Bethune - LB - Florida State

everyone battling about williams, daniels or maye

just remember the 2018 draft where two stars where draft and they were draft outside of the top, one star was almost the 2nd round

https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft/rounds/_/season/2018

the MEDIA wants us to love the drama of williams daniels and maye but the real brains say like Peters know who is best or best opportunity to succeeded

[mredskins]

another thing to consider is where this talent ends up, sadly most top prospects ended up on the carousel of NFL habitual dysfunctional teams.

Just think if you came out of plumbers school with all As; teachers loved you did awesome. Your first gig is working at MA & PA Outfitters; they are swamped with jobs don't have enough tools to give you, they don't have a work van for you so you use your bike etc...how successful do you think you will be?

A lot of success that Love and Lamar see is that they were drafted by quality franchises. do they have the same success say IDK, here? Probably not

IMO Sam would have done better at a quality franchise; one that knew who to grow him not throw him to the wolves.

Atlanta — Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati (American)
Arizona — Kyler Murray%, Oklahoma (Big 12)
Baltimore — Lamar Jackson, Louisville (ACC)
Buffalo — Josh Allen, Wyoming (Mountain West)
Carolina — Bryce Young, Alabama (SEC)
Chicago — Justin Fields, Ohio State (Big Ten)
Cincinnati — Joe Burrow, LSU (SEC)
Cleveland — Deshaun Watson, Clemson (ACC)
Dallas — Dak Prescott, Mississippi State (SEC)
Denver — Russell Wilson, NC State (ACC)
Detroit — Jared Goff, California (Pac-12)
Green Bay — Jordan Love, Utah State (Mountain West)
Houston — CJ Stroud, Ohio State (Big Ten)
Indianapolis — Anthony Richardson, Florida (SEC)
Jacksonville — Trevor Lawrence, Clemson (ACC)
Kansas City — Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech (Big 12)
Las Vegas — Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois (FCS)
LA Chargers — Justin Herbert, Oregon (Pac-12)
LA Rams — Matthew Stafford, Georgia (SEC)
Miami — Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama (SEC)

NY Giants — Daniel Jones, Duke (ACC)
NY Jets — Aaron Rodgers%, California (Pac-12)
Philadelphia — Jalen Hurts, Alabama (SEC)
Pittsburgh — Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh (ACC)
San Francisco — Brock Purdy, Iowa State (Big 12)
Seattle — Geno Smith, West Virginia (Big 12)
Tampa Bay — Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Big 12)
Tennessee — Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M (Big 12)
Washington — Sam Howell, North Carolina (ACC)
% — regular starting QB; currently injured

Some pretty good quarterbacks in the league from the ACC and Pac - 12. I also wouldn’t call any of the power 5 trash. They are the best of the best coming out of highschool. Of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league right now I think maybe 2 are from the SEC.

The NFL folks obviously look at mechanics, speed, intelligence, awareness, arm strength. These kids are 21 years old and getting coached up by professionals if they make it to the big show. It doesn’t matter who they played against in college.

Good stuff punch it , like I said not deal breakers just a notch for JD
