And don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com,

have all sorts of analysis all weekend,

of course, on Jade Daniels on the first pick

and have analysis after every pick on Friday, as course, on Jade Daniels on the first pick and have analysis after every

pick on Friday as well as on Saturday. So go to ESPN.com for that. Have a story up now on

Jaden Daniels and the commanders picking him, of course, with the number two pick overall. And I'm

going to get into kind of setting up day two. I did have a podcast reacting to the Daniels

pick that was up Thursday night. But I also want to talk a little bit about that pick in a minute

because I'm a little surprised by the reaction because it doesn't match what I hear from

teams in the NFL. That's the funny thing. I think the fans are more upset and I get, I got a text

from a coach and an NFC offensive coach who was like I really like Jaden. And great pick. He is so dynamic. Those are

the comments I would hear from coaches in the NFL. And yet I have, I just see a lot of people who

don't seem to think the kid can play. Like, I'm going to have to trust the word of those in

the NFL who do this for a living

and get paid.

Yes, they make mistakes, but they're the ones getting paid to do this.

And some of the coaches that I'm hearing this from, they're pretty damn successful.
