Washington considered JJ @ 2
"The truth is the Commanders, the two QBs they had in consideration were Jayden Daniels and JJ McCarthy. Drake Maye wasn't going 2"

Truth is not every team's NFL Draft board is the same. I heard from a buddy who is a Washington fan that they didn't like Drake Maye. Their board went Williams, Daniels and McCarthy.
Yup...
And obviously ATL had em ranked differently too...
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I think all of these are good signs that this class really WAS one of the better QB classes--that these 6 QBs really were fairly close together and not overvalued due to need. In other words, more like 2020 with Burrow, Herbert and Love, than 2021 with Wilson, Lance, Fields and Jones.

The only consensus may be Caleb was a clear #1, possible Nix #6 on most boards (sorry Havoc). But even Nix was a top 15 choice.

Adam Schefter just said that he also thinks the Giants were trying to trade up to #3 for Joe Alt, not Drake Maye.Maye is polarizing.
Yah, I heard that too - not loudly, but it was out there.
And it wasn't because of his footwork either. Obviously the Vikings weren't concerned though/.
It'll be so interesting to look back on this class in the next 3-4 seasons.

Did we dodge a buillet? Did the Pats turn down a chance to build their roster with a megahaul just so they could take the next Mac Jones?

So this was also a rumor: NE stayed put to take Maye partly because Minnesota and the NY Giants were trying so hard to move up for him....they respect Daboll and KOC and felt if they wanted him, it validates taking him themselves. Take it with a grain. Rumors! lol
I thought it was because they heard that the Broncos really wanted them and they fell for shit faces trickery....
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Lol! None taken! Time has pretty much always been on my side in QB evaluations.
This may lend more credence to my belief that KOC was hoping to get a shot at Jayden Daniels and Maye was not the target for wanting to move up to 3. We’ll probably never know, but I certainly had their evals worlds apart. Maye could develop into a good one, but there’s a fair amount of risk. Unless something freakish happens, Daniels is a pretty safe pick to be a long term franchise QB.
I had both Nix and JJM above Maye.
