Commanders’ QB Decision Under the Microscope: The Jayden Daniels Conundrum and the Draft Strategy Shuffle

The Commanders hosted four top quarterback prospects on the same day, which led to speculation about LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels not being happy. His agent, Ron Butler, reposted a PFT Live clip with a thinking emoji, raising questions about Daniels’ thoughts on the situation. Coincidentally, Butler announced that the Vikings were conducting a private workout with Daniels in Baton Rouge one day after the visit to Washington, fueling rumors that Daniels may not want to play for the Commanders. This has raised the question of whether the Commanders would still take him at No. 2 in the draft.

The decision to bring in four top quarterbacks on the same day has sparked discussion among fans and analysts about the team’s draft strategy. Even before these events, there was speculation that the Commanders may ultimately not choose Daniels with the second overall pick. The team’s options could include trading out of the spot or selecting another player. If there were any indications that Daniels did not have a strong desire to be the team’s next quarterback, it could influence their decision on draft day.

There have been questions about whether the Commanders conducted a private workout with Daniels, as there has been no report of one. Despite this uncertainty, all will be revealed in just one week when the upcoming draft takes place. The direction of the quarterback draft remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – it carries significant weight for Washington franchise and will likely result in them selecting a quarterback in the first round.
