Remember coaches, scouts and GMs view players differently than armchair QB's and people alike. It's become more evident year after year. Anthony Richardson shot up the draft board very high last year and he was unlike your typical first rounder. Good traits but raw and inaccurate as hell. And most got Dwayne Haskins wrong by a country mile. He was viewed by the media and fans as a top 6 pick. If Dan Snyder hadn't picked him, he probably falls out of the 1st round.
It works in reverse too though. There’s plenty of guys who “armchair GM’s” absolutely hated that scouts took at the top of the draft. We have one of them.
Reaches happen quite often. Anthony Richardson is one himself.. But we don't see many guys getting universally praised by the media and armchair QB's and then they fall in the draft. Then hey, turns out, they were right. Fans and media just ignore it and move on, but they make sure to bitch and moan during the Draft and all summer.
From seeing them play in person and talking to people in the business. I’ll take their opinions over fans that run a draft site, no disrespect to them. Every scout and agent I’ve spoken to thinks Daniels goes in the top 10 and possibly the top 5.
I didn't realize you had the privilege of speaking with scouts and agents. Can you be more specific on what they had to say? I like the fact that Daniels is a 22-year old with five years of college experience, but too much of his production comes from running and he doesn't look big enough to sustain that at the NFL level.
Did you just write this with a straight face?
This year, Daniels has nearly 4K passing yard, 40 passing TDs against 4 INTs, a near 12 YPA and completes 72% of his passes. He does have 10 rushing TDs and 1K rushing.
He's 6'4", btw, with plenty of room to get bigger.
I don't mind legit criticism of a prospect, but posters need to wake up and really start paying more attention.

Richardson was a reach? Based on what? Guys who get praised by the media don’t fall in the draft? Aaron Rodgers?

We have no proof that Bill Belichick is a good GM or evaluator of offensive players other than TEs.
