Right now it seems likely that the Patriots will end up with a top five pick possibly top three and I know everyone is has accepted that the two best quarterbacks are going 1st and 2nd in the draft, but what about Jayden? I must say that I am a LSU fan and definitely biased but it’s possible the Patriots offensive line isn’t going to be fixed in one off season, And it might be beneficial to have easily the most mobile quarterback coming out of college. LSU’s off of line is not particularly great and he’s showing time and time again to have good pocket presence and escapability. I don’t necessarily think he’s better than Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, But I do think he’s a lot closer than what other people think.
I am not suggesting The Patriots use a top three pick on him yet, but if it was possible to trade down, get him and another highly talented player in the first, I think it could be worth it.
Also after the game he just had tonight it’s entirely possible his draft stock continues to rise and he ends up going higher than current projections.
What do you guys think?
I agree and like him a lot. Seems like he could end up being Lamar+ as he appears to have a better arm. He also seems to have great leadership. I think his stock is really rising and will continue to rise. By the time all of these guys are put through the meat grinder of film review, pro days, interviews and all of the tests things could change a lot from where we are today.
Daniels, like Lamar, takes too many hits and he is a bean pole so he can’t be doing that in the NFL. His athleticism is off the charts though and I think he will go pretty high. He has had a nice trajectory at LSU after A-state. I also like he has been a four year starter.
He would instantly make our offense exciting if nothing else and could survive behind a crappy line a lot better than Mac.
Too many people think half these guys are going to slip to round 2 and I don’t think so. I could see 6 guys going round one. Penix is a wild card though with his injury history. Medical guys are going to have a field day with him.
