It’s no secret that the Washington Commanders are planning to select a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but it hasn’t been completely clear which quarterback they plan to select. However, those plans may have just been revealed.
During the latest episode of his podcast, NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN indicated that
“I know we’re not supposed to spoil picks – we want to see how the Commanders decide to move forward with the No. 2 overall selection. But a little over a few weeks out, to me, I think the signs continue to point to Jayden Daniels being the second overall pick at No. 2,” Schefter said.

“Seems like he’s popular in the scouting community, seems like he will bring a lot of attributes that the Commanders would like,” Schefter continued. “Jayden Daniels is going to be somebody that really appeals to them, as he would a lot of teams, as talented as he is. It’s hard for me today to see Jayden Daniels sliding past pick No. 2. So let’s pencil him in there.”
There’s always a chance something changes between now and draft night, but that’s how Schefter sees things right now.
“I think that’s how it’s stacking up a few weeks out: Caleb Williams No. 1, Jayden Daniels No. 2,” Schefter said.
