Obviously McShay talks to way more (important) people than I do, BUT
I have had conversations with NFL scouts in the past months and as recently as the last week who have Maye > Daniels and/or McCarthy > Daniels
I really think QB 2/3/4 is nowhere near a league consensus. https://t.co/oQHG92Bzqq

From a GM to me on 4/6 about pre-draft noise. Example picked out of (semi) thin air stuck with me.
“I find it almost malpractice that someone would record (or) write that it is absurd Washington might choose McCarthy at 2 because he is ‘supposedly’ the 4th QB in this draft.” https://t.co/WX0UcMqvZT

The point: Even if the *public consensus* diminishes McCarthy, Washington might not.
Mentioning this is about cautioning anyone to assume what’s about to happen. We just went through this with the HC search. Also, why I haven’t been able to shake JJM (or Maye). I can see why…

A lot of people who didn’t know what 30 visits were two weeks ago are weighing in on how teams should handle them with quarterbacks.
Hard not to appreciate their insight.

According to Vegas, it would be a major “upset” if the Commanders select Drake Maye with the 2nd overall pick. https://t.co/5YcZm1KWhN

From yesterday on the Jets agreeing to trade Zach Wilson to the Broncos, a reminder that the 2021 NFL draft class of QBs is a cautionary tale for what will unfold Thursday night…. https://t.co/Lykvargf4W

Teams trying to move up for QB and calling Washington are being told they are not moving.
Washington’s GM Adam Peters has publicly stated the Commanders feel great about staying at No. 2 and picking their QB.

Not surprisingly, the #Raiders are among the teams who tested the #Commanders on moving out of 2, even after Washington GM Adam Peters told the media the team planned to stick and pick, sources say. https://t.co/SgeGbVeGBU

Man can the Giants really trade up for a QB after paying Daniel Jones? This will be fascinating wrinkle to the draft https://t.co/4uRdwG9SLu

So many questions surrounding the #NYGiants at 6th overall — will they trade up for a QB? Will they stay put? #NFL pic.twitter.com/1fFbBkqzKq

Bigger questions loom for the #Bears 9th pick overall… some thoughts here @NFLTotalAccess @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/7ytLZ1hitM

The Broncos quietly did a lot of work on Oregon QB Bo Nix—they had an hour-long Zoom with him on March 7, then sent a Sean Payton-led contingent to Eugene to work him out on March 18, per sources.
So interest is there. Fit, too. But not having a 2nd-rounder could complicate it.

who’s the best QB in this #NFLDraft?
— Rich Eisen Show (@RichEisenShow) April 23, 2024
The NFL will not conclude its review of possible tampering by the Falcons with Kirk Cousins and by the Eagles with Saquon Barkley before the draft begins Thursday night, the league says. So any potential draft-pick penalties would not be assessed this week.

It remains possible but not certain that Tom Brady’s deal for part-ownership of the Raiders will be approved by NFL owners at their meeting next month in Nashville, source says. The deal remains pending before the NFL finance committee.

The teams that drafted the best from 2011 to 2019 in terms of 2nd contract vs 1st contract APY were
1. Ravens (5.2X more salary)
2. Texans (5X)
3. Bills (4.2X)
4. Rams (4.2X)
5. Chiefs (4.0X)— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 23, 2024
The teams that were the worst
1. Browns (1.4X)
2. Seahawks (1.5X)
3. Jets- (1.8X)
4. Raiders (2x)
5. Bucs (2X)— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 23, 2024
Just a random thought ahead of the draft. With the kickoff being resurrected as a legit NFL play, talented returners and guys who can tackle in space should get a premium in the later rounds.
This may cause some head scratching among mock drafters using the usual metrics.— Bill-in-Bangkok (@billhorgan2005) April 24, 2024
