The overhaul wasn’t done there, as Washington continued to add depth in the undrafted free agent market and gave one big-name QB one of the biggest contracts ever handed out to a UDFA.

(Photo by David Berding/Getty Images)   For most of the draft process, the Washington Commanders have been expected to get Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 selection. Not only does he look like the second-best player in this class, but he’s also just what the Commanders need, especially with Kliff Kingsbury in charge of the offense. Nonetheless, there are always a couple of big surprises in the first round of the NFL Draft, and this might not be the exception to that rule. That’s why NFL analyst Craig Carton stated that he wouldn’t be shocked if the Commanders pivoted and went with J.J. McCa ..read more

(Photo by Justin Ford/Getty Images)   It is pretty fair to say that the NFL Draft is the wildest part of the NFL season outside of when games are actually played. So, it isn’t totally uncommon when a top player isn’t given assurances from a team that is likely to select him. LSU Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels told ESPN’s Get Up that he has not been given assurances that he will be selected by them at No. 2 overall. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know when I’m gonna hear my name called or by who,” Daniels said Thursday morning during his media appearance ..read more

And while there are a few people who believe they should use it to get Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels is believed to be their pick. That has been the case for months now, and rightfully so, as Daniels has been considered the second-best player in the class, not to mention a more NFL-ready prospect than Maye and a perfect fit for Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. Nonetheless, there have also been multiple reports stating that Daniels doesn’t want to play for the Commanders. Those reports claim that he would rath ..read more

(Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images)   The Washington Commanders have been laughingstocks for the last 30 years, but change is in the air, and it started when the controversial Daniel Snyder sold them to a group headed by billionaire investor Josh Harris several months ago. Harris has vowed to change the culture of the franchise, and will have a great opportunity to set the right tone with the No. 2 pick in Thursday’s NFL Draft.
