The Washington Commanders are widely expected to select LSU Tigers star quarterback Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, but it sounds like the team will at least listen to trade offers from teams looking to acquire the pick.
During a recent interview with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, new Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that the team would do its “due diligence” and listen to trade offers for the No. 2 overall pick, and he didn’t even rule out the possibility of a strong package convincing them to trade the pick.
“Yes, I would say it’s ringing, and because, like you said, of the talent of the group this year,” Quinn said. “And so I would anticipate him fielding these calls as it goes through, and usually it’s not necessarily later than No. 6 or 7, but those people who are usually in the top four or five, there’s somebody that somebody has targeted, and I think it’s mostly like ‘Well, I’ve got to take a shot!’ A lot of times it’s no, like ‘Thanks for calling’ but it is part of the process, and you have to do your due diligence to listen and to find out just to make sure, like is there something that you just couldn’t refuse.
“I certainly walked past it in the hallway when I was with the Cowboys, years ago for a trade that involved Herschel Walker and many draft picks and changed a lot of their organization. So, I think anybody in personnel with the skills of Adam, they’re going to listen, but there’s only so many things that you’d consider, and it’d better be really good.”
We’ll have to see what the Commanders decide to do with the pick.
