If Jayden Daniels declares we need to draft him. (1 Viewer)

But.. But... He plays for LSU...

This actually had nothing to do with my post. It was just a side note for the many LSU pipeline junkies. I’m from New Orleans, even went to LSU for a Katrina semester, but I’m just a casual LSU fan.

The Saints HAVE passed on a lot of quality LSU talent at positions of need. So yeah I understand why some people question if the Saints have an aversion to drafting LSU players.

Other guys like Devin White are good but not as good as many LSU fans make them out to be. It’s really the receivers that we missed out on.

How about we draft Bryce Young
SP would come back in a heart beat, he loves him some QBs under 6'
Then
Mason Taylor in 2 years

Bryce Young hasnt been impressive this year. He has seemed to regressed.

As for Daniels these next few games will determine everything. Does well he should take that NFL money. Ask that one QB from Ohio State Cordarrele. He came back after winning a national championship and his stock plummeted and he lost many millions of dollars.

Yeah maybe he should stay another year, but if you get your Stock white hot you gotta leave. Coming back you can only lose.

Whats crazy is, less than one month ago, a vast majority of LSU fans wanted this kid demoted to second or third string. Now, some of these same fans are calling him a first round pick.

Michael Pratt, better pro prospect.
There, I said it.

The progress that Daniels has made this year has been amazing--a credit to the young man and to the LSU coaching staff because so many players on that team have really improved over the past 10 weeks. But at this time, my guess is that his draft ceiling is third round, and that he is likely to go in the 95-140 range in the draft. He is a tremendous athlete. He has a live arm. But only six weeks ago, he looked like an athlete playing quarterback.

I can’t believe he weighs 200. I would have guessed 175.

Daniels=good college QB in that system. Pros= no idea, especially against the best of the best.

He's 6'3"

I agree with you. Even if he played lights out the rest of the season. To much time before the draft, he would fall back to the 3rd rd by then. Really that could be better for Daniels. Because he could fall to a better situation (fit) in later rds.

The way he has upped his game from the first game till now, makes you feel like he can make the jump. I was at the Alabama game and he made a believer out of me.

I'm loving what Jayden is doing right now, but he is not ready for the NFL yet. Besides, we need him to stay for one more year at LSU so we can chase the Natty next year.

 

[fishing4food]

Daniels' accuracy is questionable and he struggles at reading a defense. He's a practice squad QB at the moment in the NFL. It would be in his best interest to stay another season.

 

[i_am_error]

He's not declaring this year.
He's also not a power runner.
Really enjoying this season, and I think it will be interesting to see what he does through next year, but he's not NFL ready right now.

I loved that game Saturday night as much as any other non-Bama fan, and give Daniels a lot of credit for the win, but I don't think he has what it takes to make it in the pros. He's just not a very good passer IMO.

Not if you want passes completed downfield or to hit receivers in stride. Dude runs well and has decent arm talent, but that’s it. He’s overrated when it comes to escapability and his ball placement is just bad. Every pass that is not to a stationary receiver ends up being behind that receiver. YAC suffers greatly from this and it puts receivers in dangerous situations. He can make guys miss in the open field, but I see him take unneeded hits and sacks.

Bryce Young is pretty much the same, but slightly better in those areas. Both LSU and Alabama would be elite offenses if those two dudes could just throw to where the receiver is going to be and not where they are.

I am holding judgement on JD until I see him play UGA in the SEC Championship game... If he gets there, and If he plays well against them... He gets my vote.
