QB Jayden Daniels, WAS (2 Viewers)

[Born to Run]

I think Sinnott can give us that TE upgrade in his 2nd season. TE's rarely ever hit year one. They loved his metrics coming out. And I'm pretty sure Ertz mentored to him all year what a great pro to learn under. I'd rather see us spend draft capitol on the line, upgrading our #2 WR, possibly upgrading at RB, and of course improve our secondary. Future is definitely bright because Jayden IS that dude.

Sinnott looks like an eventual starter but Ertz also seems to have some gas left in the tank. Personally I think we're okay at TE right now - I'm hoping the Commanders are able to find some talent at OL, RB, WR, LB and CB in free agency and the upcoming draft. Protection for Daniels is key. But if BPA in round 3+ is a TE, I trust Adam Peters to make the right choice. He has been outstanding in his brief time in WAS.

Why upgrade RB? Robinson/Ekeler is solid. They need a roadgrader or two up front to create the occasional opening.

No doubt, OL is a top priority. But this draft is deep at RB and I wouldn't mind if they snag one. A better running attack takes some pressure off Daniels.

That defense needs to be entirely rebuilt.

They are set at QB though. Back to Jayden Daniels - sorry for the derail.

A good bit of it does but not all of it. Sainristil, Allen, Payne, Newton, Luvu, and Wagner are decent or decent+; just my opinion as a weekly viewer and fan since they sank the Maine.
Safety needs help, and cornerback needs even more help. And the D-line produces no pressure to speak of.
A better defense will help Daniels by getting him the ball more often and in better field position.

But what will really help him is a big effort by the front office to improve the offensive line.

Wagner is 34. Jonathan Allen is about to turn 30. Newton & Payne had below average PFF grades (admittedly I don't watch WAS closely enough to know if they have any utility going forward, but I would guess if they did it would be solely as rotational pieces but neither are "studs"). I'm not saying that upgrading the offensive line wouldn't be a good thing, but I would put it behind upgrading the defense, especially the defensive line.

Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Daniels had the highest completion percentage (69.0) by a qualified rookie quarterback ever, the most rushing yards by a rookie quarterback in NFL history (891) and the fourth-highest passer rating by a qualified rookie quarterback all-time (100.1). He threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns.
