Antonio Pierce was his recruiting coordinator at Arizona State and cornerback\u00a0Jack Jones\u00a0was his teammate.<\/p>\n<p>Jones didn\u2019t hide the fact that he thought\u00a0Daniels would be a good fit\u00a0in Las Vegas. However, it\u2019s not going to happen after the\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0selected the Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 2 pick. Shortly after the news broke, Jones noticed Daniels\u2019 body language and suggested he wasn\u2019t happy with the landing spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that look he ain\u2019t wanna go there,\u201d Jones wrote in an\u00a0April 25 X post.<\/p>\n<div id=\"36864e7c85d12ad85ad3d1dbd8dfaaac\">\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>I know that look he ain\u2019t wanna go there<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>There were rumors before the draft that Daniels\u00a0wasn\u2019t particularly keen\u00a0on playing for Washington. The team is in the midst of a huge rebuild and has been one of the more dysfunctional franchises.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Daniels has come out and said that he\u2019ll play anywhere so there doesn\u2019t appear to be any worry that he\u2019ll cause issues for Washington. Jones wanted his former teammate to play in Las Vegas so he\u2019s likely disappointed to see him end up with the Commanders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Jayden Wanted to Play for Las Vegas Raiders<\/h2>\n<p>The interest in Jayden Daniels wasn\u2019t one-sided for the Raiders. According to The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini, the feeling was very much mutual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the visit [with the Commanders], league sources have said Daniels has told people in his \u2018dream world\u2019 he could reunite with Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, who was an assistant coach at Arizona State during Daniels\u2019 time with the Sun Devils, or play under Kevin O\u2019Connell in Minnesota,\u201d Russini wrote in an\u00a0April 24 column.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Daniels and the Raiders, players rarely get to go where they want in the NFL Draft. The quarterback wasn\u2019t interested in threatening a holdout if the Commanders drafted him and now he\u2019ll likely be spending his career in Washington.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will Las Vegas Raiders Add a QB?<\/h2>\n<p>Most of the talk surrounding the Raiders\u2019 draft plans involved quarterbacks. By the time the team was on the clock at No. 13, six quarterbacks had already been taken. There weren\u2019t any quarterbacks left on the board who would\u2019ve warranted being selected at No. 13.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it\u2019s likely that\u00a0Gardner Minshew\u00a0or\u00a0Aidan O\u2019Connell\u00a0will be the starting quarterback for the Raiders in 2024. However, the team could still add a quarterback later in the draft. Spencer Rattler and Michael Pratt could be options in the second or third round. The Raiders could wait until Day 3 and consider Joe Milton.<\/p>\n<p>None of those project to be elite starts but it\u2019d at least give the Raiders some upside at the position. This was a really bad year for a team picking outside the top-12 to need a quarterback and now it\u2019ll be back to the drawing board in Las Vegas. The Raiders will likely be linked to quarterbacks once again next year but the class projects to be much weaker. The college football season isn\u2019t even close to starting up yet so it\u2019s possible some really good quarterback prospects begin to emerge and the Raiders will likely start doing work on next year\u2019s class soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels.
