Odds are shifting for the Commanders QB decision at No. 2

I’ve been saying it a lot here that I thought all along that while Kingsbury wanted Daniels, Quinn wants Maye…

And Peters probably wants McCarthy

That Washington takes Maye and the Pats are open to trade back to #6 so we can get Daniels. Still a long shot, but my preferred path.

Who does Magic prefer?

as being non-committal, plus a reaction to Daniel's agent's tweet.

The Minnesota Vikings are visited with Jayden Daniels in Baton Rouge on Thursday with less than a week to go before the 2024 NFL Draft, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

one week from the draft a year ago these were the odds for pick #2:

How did this work out?

Commanders go Maye
Patriots trade with Vikings who take McCarthy
Arizona takes Harrison
Chargers take Alt
Giants get Daniels

to suck in more gamblers.

Like some of us have been saying, Daniels frame and style of play is a concern. It might be a 'game time' decision.

This is a funny thread. Especially to the guys that post "see, I told you" if the odds just shifted to their views.

I’d still be surprised if WFT doesn’t take Daniels.

Probably true.
Kingsbury is known to want Daniels, so as he's OC, I would reckon it will be Daniels.

.

I want.

If Washington passes on him, I would be 100% on board to do what you have to do to get him.

I cannot see Daniels being a long term NFL qb. He is far to slight of frame. I hope Washington takes him. I see a very RG3 like rise and fall with him. Might be a pain in the ass in the short term but he is going to get beat up in the NFL.

What? You think if the books truly thought that Daniels was the heavy favorite to go 2nd that they’d intentionally lower his odds to “lure more gamblers” to take advantage of that low number and put more money on Daniels at a much better price? Haha, yeah. They just love losing money…

reputation is on the line... ;)

You do understand its not a zero-sum math table going on here, right?

Of course, but your logic makes no sense. You think lowering the odds on Daniels is intentional to bring in more gamblers. The only reason more people would decide to throw down money in your scenario is to take advantage of getting Daniels at a better price, no? If the odds on Daniels are going down then the odds of others is going up. Why on earth would gamblers rush to now throw down money on players where the potential winnings are now worse? It makes no sense whatsoever

It's not about just DANIELS!

It could be smoke (and probably is), but reports have said that the Pats prefer Daniels and are not high on Maye.

All we hear are that the Giants like Maye. Would it shock people if they traded up for Daniels if he was there at 3?

I agree. Maye’s the prize. It seems like WAS might be realizing that.

Nothing more, nothing less.

This is meaningless to the real world. Some GM didn't call up their favorite Vegas bookmaker.

Does Rickey get banned from BBI if it’s Maye? 😂😂😂

Coward. I'll guarantee that Jayden Daniels will be a Commander.

This is why I tell people there’s still a very reasonable chance that only 2 QBs have gone before pick 6. This draft is loaded with Non-QB superstar potential, and in the history of the league we’ve never had 4 go in the top 6.

Let me amend this - I think 3 going in the top 5 is very likely. Would not be surprised at all if the 4th falls out of the top 10

All I know is that I love it.

BREAKING: Hearing from reputable sources that Jayden Daniels is actively trying to tank his draft stock because he wants to play for Antonio Pierce in LV. I still believe he ends up in Washington but think this is why the betting markets are acting kooky. #HTTC #RaiderNation

$7M verses $3.4M, so cut in half, and he's trying to force that? Ummm..... think not.

Hmm, now I was thinking something might be up with Daniels. He is a perfect match with the Pierce and the Raiders.

Washington dropping to the Raiders pick is a BIG drop.. Now, if the raiders need to move up first then move again it could be doable..
