Commanders get their QB in Jayden Daniels, fill several holes in the NFL draft
Dan Quinn was pumped to know Jayden Daniels will soon be throwing passes for the Washington Commanders and “fired up” about the rest of the talent coming from the NFL draft.
There’s good reason for that. While this rookie class won’t immediately transform Washington into a Super Bowl contender, getting a potential franchise quarterback in Daniels with the No. 2 pick and filling several holes all over the roster is a good start for the new regime led by Quinn and general manager Adam Peters.
“We got a lot better,” Peters said Friday night after making a combined five selections in the second and third rounds. “Really proud of our process and identifying the right types of guys. Just couldn’t be happier with the young men that we brought in.”
IT WAS ALWAYS DANIELS
It starts, of course, with Daniels, the Heisman Trophy winner out of LSU who was the second of six QBs taken in the top 12, a league record. The Commanders didn’t show their hand about Daniels being their guy over North Carolina’s Drake Maye, Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., though Peters called it nearly unanimous within the front office.
