DONE DEAL; Raiders have successfully sign Jayden Daniels today

Rumors surrounding the 2024 NFL Draft: This NFL coach states that selecting Jayden Daniels over Caleb Williams is a “no-brainer.”

While many believe Drake Maye should be selected ahead of Daniels, Williams is generally considered the best overall selection.

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft will begin Thursday night in Detroit in three days, so the rumors and deceit are ramping up.

Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner and quarterback for USC, is anticipated to be the Chicago Bears’ first overall choice. Since 2000, Williams is the first collegiate quarterback to have multiple seasons in which he has thrown for 30 or more passing touchdowns and rushed for 10 or more rushing touchdowns while throwing five or fewer interceptions.

Not one NFL head coach without a quarterback necessity, though, would select Williams first overall. This coach wouldn’t even select quarterback Drake Maye of North Carolina, who many consider to be the second-best QB prospect in the 2024 draft. If his club was in possession of the first overall choice, he would take 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, a fifth-year quarterback from LSU, above both Williams and Maye.

“It’s a no-brainer to me,” an anonymous head coach said, per ESPN. “Jayden looks like the best guy in this draft.”

Odds are, per Caesars Sportsbook, that Williams is selected by first overall by Chicago as he possesses -20000. That comes out to a projected 99.5% that Williams is going to be a Bear. The current odds for which quarterback will be the second player off the board Thursday to the Washington Commanders are much, much tighter. Daniels is currently -170 to be the second player taken, a 63% chance, but Maye’s chances are rising. He had +200 odds to be the second overall pick last week, but the Tar Heels quarterback is now up to +140 odds, a 41.7% shot that he will be Washington’s next quarterback.
