I hope they pull it off. Maye in NE sounds like a worst case scenario.

Before I head into work-some things I've seen floating around today:

• Daniels seems a lock at #2
• Pats seem locked on Maye at #3, AZ with Marv at #4
• LAC-Latham love is real, but fans want Nabers - To trade or not to trade?
• Philly has multiple people thinking they're trading up, same with the Cards from Pick 27
• Falcons are definitely taking calls at 8 depending on who's available 
• Bills are making calls and want a receiver

Feel free to add more as things trickle in today - looking at you tweet embedders (+Juan)

Is no-one worried that Daniels is going to be a 24 year old rookie?

He's beyond saving.

Just pick BPA, regardless of position, and get this rebuild started properly. We're down multiple premium picks with zero NFL QBs on the roster. Stop digging.

Agree, older QBs that started for 4-5 years scare me. They might look good year 1, but year 2 usually rough.

I mean, what is their untapped potential and upside? The last 1-2 years have been men playing against boys.

Moose and Smith are the reason we were in the Super Bowl.

Samuel and LaFell are washes, imo.  Neither more than a decent slot or a marginal Z WR.

Given Samuel's draft spot he way underachieved so far IMO - LaFell I guess I would give a push to since he had a few good years after he left us.

They should be. The track record of these older one year wonders is atrocious. You basically have Joe Burrow to the positive and practically everyone else to the negative. You're talking about guys who are the age of most second year and some third year NFL players playing against college kids. You gotta grade them with a curve that reflects that.

I think that Caleb is going to be good.  After that, it depends where they go:
Maye  If he goes to Minnesota or the Giants, he has a better supporting staff than Daniels will in Washington.  New England would not be the best situation for Maye, imo.  He will be able to watch for a season in NY--possibly in Minnesota.  If Daniels goes to Washington, he will be on his own, but the Commanders have a lot of draft capital. 

Penix is not going to do well in Vegas until they get the OL worked out.  However, he can sit for a season there. 

  I see them as a potential trading partner with Carolina:

Washington picks in top 100:

• Round 1 (2)
• Round 2 (36)
• Round 2 (40)
• Round 3 (67)
• Round 3 (78)
• Round 3 (100)

McCarthy is going to land in a pretty good situation.  Either the Giants (where he will sit for a season) or Minnesota is better than Washington or New England.
