The Washington Commanders have made headlines this week thanks to the way they're going about the NFL draft. Holding the No. 2 pick, first-year general manager Adam Peters— a decision usually kept under wraps until draft day. The most notable item, however, came in the form of how the Commanders are evaluating quarterbacks. On Friday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shed some light on that aspect of their draft process.. Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy, and Michael Penix Jr.
Schefter on Jayden Daniels visit with WAS"It didn't seem to go over too well with his agent who sounded off on social media that he didn't seem particularly pleased with the process. Daniels thought it would be a visit for just him, but WAS essentially opened up the process."In regards to the other aspect of the above report, Ron Butler is the agent for Daniels and he did express discontent with the process on his X account.
There are few opportunities during the pre-draft process to get in a room with a prospect one-on-one for a substantial period of time. That time is pretty important! The Commanders will be paying whoever they select tens of millions of dollars right off the bat, and if things go according to plan, they'll end up paying hundreds of millions. Passing up the chance to get more individual time with the prospect they hope will be the face of their franchise doesn't look good.
And that's what this is all about. The perception is poor. Washington is surely doing all the homework necessary and met with individual quarterbacks at the NFL Combine. But putting those four together into one visit comes across like they were trying to check several boxes at once because it is more convenient for the team. It's the absolute last thing long-suffering fans of the franchise wants to see.
