I'm not judging whether it's right or wrong per se, just saying that it's a bit of a hot take simply based on what I've seen in the media where JPJ has tons of supporters. But you're right, and maybe I will start getting into IOL although it's not my favorite position to grade.

By the way, if anyone wants the Beast and doesn't have The Athletic I could probably put it up on google drive for y'all. Could also just post some sections if anyone wants to see about a specific player or positional rankings.

if you don't mind doing the google drive link id be down




also disagree on Verse just beating up young dudes, he was a JUCO transfer and was trying to win a title. FSU for all that they emphasized his role didnt teach him much in the way of technique so you'd expect him to make a decent jump just from having a good positional coach.

Byron Murphy is literally the only guy I think is clear first round quality between both edge and interior. I like Dallas Turner and think he has a lot of potential, but there's a lot of projection with him. Latu is decent but the neck injury as has been said is really tough. If there's a single injury I care most about it's neck and spine, followed I suppose by foot and very persistent soft tissue injuries.

I think Newton is a better prospect than Calijah Kancey was last year as a similar type DT. I like Newton a little better than Murphy, but for me they are very close and it's mostly just what a team needs at DT. Murphy is the only good DT in the class who can eat a double team apart from Sweat, which is a very valuable trait. Newton just wins quicker and cleaner than Murphy and I like his finish more. It's perfectly reasonable to have those flipped but they're both 1st rounders to me.

Richardson and Daniels are almost nothing alike as Qurterback prospects. They can both run fast. That’s the most compelling similarity.

They shouldn't, but they might anyways because Daniels has traits that can help them win in the immediate future: speed, good deep ball, and doesn't turn the ball over.

If I had to put money on it whoever drafts Daniels will have moved on or will look to move on by year 6. We'll see.

Richardson, with the frame of an Olympus god, was always injured.

To put it in extremely simple terms because I've probably expended enough words on these guys already: Daniels has the higher floor, by a lot. He's faster and more athletic, has much more developed and repeatable mechanics, more consistent accuracy, etc. Maye has more immediate bust potential because a lot of what he is is based around projection, but probably has the most upside just based on his arm strength, youth, and overall profile. He has Josh Allen / Justin Herbert upside.

Basically to me Daniels is probably the safer pick, with Maye being a pick that either earns you a great reputation as a front office or gets you fired.

Personally I tend to think that Washington will take Maye despite most mocks seeming to have them go Daniels.

He scored 45 TDs two seasons ago (38 pass, 7 rush) and 33 last season (24 pass, 9 rush).

It's not just traits and projection, there's production there too.

For sure, didn't mean to suggest that there isn't. It's not by any means even mostly projection. But I still would contend that Daniels, with his ability on the ground which will play in the NFL, better overall accuracy and ball placement, and mechanics that look the same every time is the safer floor pick. He also had 50 total touchdowns and only 4 INTs last year, so a pretty much impeccable statline there for him if you like stats.

Maye has good stats but when you watch him miss a receiver by five yards multiple times per game, wander directly into pressure for no reason, and fail to normalize his feet and throwing motion, you can see the concerns people have with him. That kind of errancy will be punished much more often in the NFL, and Daniels is obviously better in those categories.

That being said I've gotten more and more convinced by Maye as time goes on. The youth is huge for me, the arm talent, the size, the athleticism, the production with questionable talent around him. If he develops properly he's the kind of prospect that could take you all the way. That's why I think Washington WILL go with Drake Maye.

Im really firming to the idea of Guerendo in the 4th if he's still there and Jalen Coker out of Holy Cross with a late round flyer to see if he can be something.

Watching Guerendo just cut and burn even if he doesn't have crazy lateral shift with his frame. He just reminded me a little of Clinton Portis.

THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON
Does it matter that not only are Daniels's stats better than Maye's, but Daniels was getting his numbers while playing in the SEC (plus Florida State) while Maye was getting his numbers while playing an ACC schedule? UNC was 71st in strength of schedule last year and only played 2 teams ranked in the top 25 (and none in the top 20). People seem to knock Daniels for having better wide receivers, but don't say anything about Maye facing slower defenses.

Or is that just not significant?

I mean, it matters, but it also matters that Maye is a couple of years younger than Daniels and playing with significantly worse surrounding talent.

In general you're never gonna be able to do a 1:1 comparison of college stats because everyone's playing in such different environments, and stats aren't necessarily going to carry a ton of weight in a scouting context because you can produce on the college level in a way that isn't really replicable in the NFL. (Or, alternatively, you can be unproductive on the college level for reasons related to scheme/team quality/etc. and yet still have traits/skills that could allow you to succeed as a pro)

College stats don't matter because teams rarely play equal competition both in starters and in rotational players. Gimmick offenses and defenses rule the NCAA which are even further inflated by the athleticism disparity. NFL offenses and defenses have to gameplan and counter each other, NCAA offenses and defenses just show up and dare the other team to stop them. Players are undersized, underdeveloped, and splitting their focus on education despite what the stereotypes say. There's limitations on practice, training quality, and facilities. Juggernaut NCAA teams win on rotating in high quality recruits just as much as they do with having superior starters. Offensive lines and defensive lines are almost completely devoid of talent across the board. It takes incredible skill to be able to move like a NFL OT and those that can are rare, let alone having two of them on a line. Speed and strength win so often it's sometimes hard to discern if there's even talent there, or the potential for talent.

Numbers can give a hint at playstyle but they hardly confirm what the player is actually capable of or might become capable of. That's why I pretty much only look at athleticism, and if the athleticism has skill tacked on then that's even better.
