Ochocinco asked Daniels about the quality of the supporting cast in Washington, to which the former LSU star replied, \u201cThey got some Dogs over there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"8b90f875187d64d81b53de921edd2095\">\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Jayden Daniels was on the \u201cNight Cap\u201d Podcast with\u00a0@ochocinco\u00a0and\u00a0@ShannonSharpe.<\/p>\n<p>They talked about the draft process, the Raiders, and Daniels being selected number two overall.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a clip relating to the Commanders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>Daniels\u2019 endorsement of the Commanders\u2019 receivers comes at a time when momentum is gathering for him to be the second player taken. Growing rumors indicate the Commanders will stay put and pick the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the word from NFL Network analyst and \u201cMove The Sticks\u201d podcast host\u00a0Daniel Jeremiah. He told the \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show\u201d how he felt Drake Maye was a better fit, but Jeremiah revealed \u201cas you\u2019re coming down the home stretch it\u2019s like okay, there\u2019s too much. I can\u2019t inject my own personal opinion here. This is just overwhelming that everybody that I talk to is saying that it\u2019s going to be Jayden.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"4123f9d8e633055a338fb896c95310ca\">\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cEverything in my gut was telling me Drake Maye to Washington..<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019re coming down the home stretch everybody I\u2019ve talked to is telling me it\u2019s gonna be Jayden Daniels\u201d ~\u00a0@MoveTheSticks<\/p>\n<p>#PMSLive<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jeremiah\u2019s conviction about Daniels to Washington is shared by\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter. The latter\u00a0also appeared on McAfee\u2019s show, where Schefter stated \u201cJayden Daniels is the favorite to be No. 2\u2026I think the Commanders, in the end, will opt for Daniels, that\u2019s my read on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Jayden Daniels to Commanders Draft Buzz Growing<\/h2>\n<p>Buzz for Daniels taking the reins for the Commanders is growing, despite recent hints to the contrary. Those hints involved Washington deciding to host Daniels, Maye, Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy at the same time, a decision Daniels\u2019 agent\u00a0didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>The group visit didn\u2019t appear to\u00a0irk Maye, but Daniels remains the more popular pick for the Commanders. It makes sense given the latter\u2019s stylistic fit for offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury\u2019s schemes.<\/p>\n<p>Kingsbury knows what it takes to coach a dual-threat athlete at football\u2019s most important position. It\u2019s what he did for\u00a0Kyler Murray\u00a0with the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>Daniels has a similar skill-set, so Kingsbury would have few problems building an offense around his talents. Particularly when he combined Daniels\u2019 arm talent with the Commanders\u2019 gifted receivers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Commanders\u2019 WRs Perfect for Rookie QB<\/h2>\n<p>The Commanders are set up for any type of first-year quarterback because of their talent at wide receiver. Whether it\u2019s a dynamic playmaker like Daniels or a\u00a0Brock Purdy-style\u00a0game manager\u00a0like J.J. McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>Either passer would soon build trust with\u00a0Terry McLaurin. The tough veteran has\u00a0four-straight 1,000-yard seasons\u00a0to his credit and still makes clutch plays like this\u00a0contested catch\u00a0against the\u00a0New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>McLaurin is Washington\u2019s WR1, but third-year pro\u00a0Jahan Dotson\u00a0has the potential to handle a bigger role. Dotson\u2019s numbers were down in 2023, but he\u2019s versatile enough to get open underneath, as well as stretch the field vertically.<\/p>\n<p>He did the latter for\u00a0this touchdown\u00a0against the\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0last season.<\/p>\n<p>Combining Dotson and McLaurin with tight end\u00a0Zach Ertz, a\u00a0Kingsbury favorite\u00a0from his days in Arizona, means Daniels would have all the weapons he needs. Add in pass-catching running back\u00a0Austin Ekeler, and the Commanders should help a rookie signal-caller win right away in the pros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0Jayden Daniels praised one area of the Washington Commanders&#8217; roster.
