Analyst Ron Rivera offers a stark reality check, reminding us that the teams hold the power in the NFL draft. “The players don’t get to pick. They’re picked so they’re going wherever they’re picked.” So, while Daniels might express a preference for the Commanders or the Raiders, ultimately, it’s the team that drafts him that will decide his destination. The NFL draft is a game of unpredictability, where player preferences don’t always guarantee their final landing spot.

Jayden Daniels might prefer a team other than the Washington Commanders, but his draft destiny is out of his hands. He recently praised Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, who Daniels knows from his time at Arizona State. “AP just as a human being, he’s the right coach for that team,” Daniels said, further fueling rumors about his disinterest in Commanders.
However, the draft isn’t about where the player wants to go. If the Commanders want Daniels, they’ll take him no matter what. Likewise, recent reports suggest the team has addressed any concerns Daniels might have had, making it less likely they’ll pass on him. Daniels might face this reality as the draft approaches soon. What are your thoughts on this “unpredictable draft?” Let us know in the comments below.
