Should Daniels have gone #1 overall?

It’s why I wanted him above all others.

It was a weird week in the NFL. Vikings replacement holder and kicker responsible for all their points, the tanking Saints beat the Falcons, Daniels wasn't very good, Caleb was worse, Broncos and Bo Nix outplayed the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, Bryce Young wasn't ass and Jared Goff threw 5 picks in a game where both he and Stroud were crap.

Well, not sure that throwing for only 126 yards on 25 attempts is a big accomplishment for Young, but he got a W after Danny Dimes threw 2 picks. The NFL is always good for some intrigue week to week. I'll say this: lots of teams are banged up this year.

All the rookies playing are having fairly typical rookie seasons. All have shown the ability to stick in the league.

Jayden Daniels: playing well, doesn’t make many mistakes which puts him above the rest. He’s everything I expected him to be when I scouted all of them and considered him the cream of the crop. Looks like a franchise QB.

Caleb Williams: streaky but shows why he was a top pick. 3 terrible games in a row after three great ones. On the question marks that were there coming out like dealing with pressure - they are still there. I haven’t gotten a ton of time watching all of them, but he’s probably on the low end of the rest thus far.

Bo Nix: much like Caleb there are highs and lows. He arguably has the most difficult situation of all of them having to deal with Payton and his offense (8th in attempts is no easy task for a rookie), but he seems to be adapting fine after a brutal (to be expected) September.
He has thrown 9 tds to 2 int’s since start of October.

Drake Maye: had a little time before getting thrown into the fire and has adapted ok. I’ve seen him the least, but from what I have had a chance to watch he’s a plus running the ball as expected.

Penix: no action with none expected. Should be good when it’s time
JJM: would be starting Viking QB if he had not been injured and likely performing at a high level with the Vikings excellent offense. It really sucks he’s lost for the year.

I didnt have Daniels as my #1, its not that he didnt show a lot of talent, but I question his frames ability to play a long time in this league. Investing a #1 overall pick is a career breaker for some GMs and I wouldnt have felt comfortable with my future if it was tied to a guy likely to have a career threatening/altering injury in the first few years.

I thought Caleb Williams is a mental pussy ( and still do ) I dont think he has the ability to let a bad play ( game ) go quick enough to really survive at this level.

I like Nix for his career trajectory, Penix for his moxie ( up until the NCG ), and JJM for his upside.

Never wanted anything to do with Maye.
