Colin Cowherd confirms Washington Commanders draft pick, claims team will pick Jayden Daniels with the second pick

As the NFL Draft nears, teams have begun to make their final decisions on which player they intend to bring aboard to help them take a step forward in their quest to win the Super Bowl. This draft is special, particularly for the quarterback class, as the options available are plenty and each player has his own unique skill set. While the Chicago Bears have made their mind up to draft Caleb Williams with the first pick, the Washington Commanders appears to have taken a call on their draft choice as well.

Analyst Colin Cowherd revealed the Washington Commanders’ intent to draft Jayden Daniels from LSU with the second pick in this year’s draft.

I've been told the Washington Commanders, as of today would choose Jayden Daniels, LSU quarterback as their top pick... They believe he is more consistent than Drake Maye, he is quicker, more mobile than Drake Maye. Colin Cowherd stated via ‘The Herd’

The Commanders had met with multiple quarterbacks in order to arrive at their final decision. Drake Maye was a prospect they were closely looking at, the team considered him to be a dark horse candidate but after reviewing the performances of both the quarterbacks this season, Daniels turned out to be more consistent and had all the characteristics necessary to be a leader.

The demand for the LSU quarterback has been high. The New England Patriots had shown interest in him at the NFL Combine, and at one point, it seemed that Boston would be his next destination. However, with the Commanders’ decision to scoop up Daniels with their second pick, he will now join a franchise that is slowly but most certainly rebuilding its roster as well as front office and management.
