In the upcoming 2024 NFL draft, all eyes are on LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels as a potential No. 2 overall pick for the Washington Commanders. Speculation has been rife, with some believing North Carolina's Drake Maye could be selected by Washington, while others think Commanders general manager Adam Peters may surprise everyone and choose Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

Caleb Williams of USC is expected to go No. 1 to the Chicago Bears. This sets the stage for an intriguing decision at No. 2 with the Commanders. However, Peters has remained tight-lipped about his choice, stating earlier this week that Washington doesn't have a clue yet.

Recently, Daniels showcased his skills at his pro day, impressing scouts and analysts alike. Following the event, Daniels spoke with Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network, discussing various topics, including the possibility of being drafted by Washington. Daniels expressed gratitude for being considered among the top picks and emphasized his desire to contribute to an organization that believes in him, with ambitions of leading them to Super Bowls.

Daniels played it cool during the interview, lauding his versatility and ability to make explosive plays on the field. His success at Arizona State and his connection with current Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, who praised Daniels earlier in the week, has further fueled speculation that the Raiders may aim to trade up from their No. 13 pick to secure Daniels. However, such a move may prove challenging.

While Daniels' landing spot in Washington is uncertain, it seems unlikely that he would fall past the No. 3 pick, where the New England Patriots are set to make their selection. It is speculated that the Patriots might either choose Daniels or potentially auction the pick to the highest bidder.

As the 2024 NFL draft approaches, the anticipation grows, and football enthusiasts eagerly await the Commanders' decision at No. 2. Will Jayden Daniels be the quarterback chosen to lead Washington, or will another player surprise everyone? Only time will reveal the answer as teams prepare to make their choices on draft day.
