Any actual real concern?
Like how concerned are you?
Yeah, you're not, you're not actually concerned at all.
Like this is all again hypothetical stuff.
You feel pretty good.
I mean, Jayden Daniels literally might be my highest drafted player this summer.
Uh, he's going in, in, in round 4 on Underdog right now, and I think he is the quarterback 3 easily.
I should.
I think he should be much closer to where Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are being drafted over and over again.
I have real hesitations about a lot of the wide receivers being drafted in his range, and especially at like the end of round three after like the Chase Brown cliff, let's say at the running back position.
Uh, I'm simply going to draft an elite quarterback over someone like Kyron Williams at this point.
And look, I, I wasn't sky is falling with Kyron Williams heading into the 2024 year.
I'm more so doing that in 2025.
And I just want one of these bankable elite quarterbacks and uh figuring out my belt from there.
Yeah, I actually think the funny thing about Jayden Daniels is that he's so good and and he's such an impactful rusher that he can be a great fantasy pick and like Terry McLaurin could take a small step back in the touchdown column and like Deebo Samuel might not really work out.
Um, I just think again, the type of quarterback he is, like there's such a great margin for error, so I'm not, I'm certainly not concerned about Jayden Daniels, the individual, I'm certainly not concerned about Jayden Daniels, the individual, Um, there's like part of me that might be a little concerned about the environment overall, but I'm still with you and I think he can be a great pick where he's going.
