The Washington Commanders spent the No. 2 overall pick this year on a better quarterback than the No. 1 overall pick last year?
If you have a team with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft it's likely fans and media will say they need to draft a quarterback. In the case of the Washington Commanders, however, they may have gotten a better one at No. 2 this year than they would have at No. 1 in the previous one.
Still, the fact that Washington may have landed a better quarterback one year and one pick removed from Young being selected with the top pick in 2023 is interesting. And in the mind of's River Wells who recently took on the challenge of ranking the NFL's 32 projected starting quarterbacks, it's a reality we live in today with Daniels ranked No. 24 and Young No. 25.
Now, heading to the NFL, the connections between Daniels and another mobile Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who had his career derailed by injuries is too close for comfort for many onlookers. "Bryce Young's struggles with the Panthers last year could well be due to the extreme lack of talent around him, and while he's made some great throws in his first year as a Panther, a sub-60 completion percentage and just 2,877 yards passing will be unacceptable in his sophomore campaign," Wells said, and we'd be inclined to agree.
