2024 NFL Draft prediction for Jayden Daniels. What round will Daniels be drafted in, and which NFL team will draft him? Read his 2024 NFL Draft outlook.
ROUND PREDICTION: 1st Round (#2 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Washington Commanders
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Washington seems to have tipped their hand as to their plans, the Commanders recently traded away QB Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks for two pick swaps. Howell had shown some flashes, but with their being an entirely new regime in the nation's capital, it's understandable why they wanted to turn the page. Washington has also taken the slow and steady approach in free agency despite having some of the most cap room. While adding guys like RB Austin Ekeler, TE Zach Ertz, and MLB Bobby Wagner might not make a lot of sense given their timeline, it's pretty clear that the front office wants to have plenty of vets in the locker room to be a good influence around their incoming rookie quarterback.
"I thought that this guy should be QB No. 1. ... After looking at him in person, there is no doubt in my mind."

Jayden Daniels, the LSU gunslinger, didn't just play football this year; he set the gridiron on fire, snagging the Heisman Trophy with a show that was nothing short of spectacular. Imagine this: 40 touchdowns flying through the air, only four picks, and a whopping 3,811 yards passing. And just for the thrill of it, he ran for 1,250 rushing yards and 10 more TDs! But hold onto your hats, because the cherry on top is his average depth of target (ADOT) as a passer—a sizzling 10.5. It's the kind of stuff that makes you double-take. Sure, there's chatter about him needing to dodge sacks better and dish it more across the middle, but let's be real—it's hard not to get whipped into a frenzy over Daniels' potential, especially for fantasy.
