Daniels won the Heisman Trophy for the Tigers in 2023, leading the nation in most quarterback categories in his final collegiate season. He’s projected to go second to a QB-needy Commanders squad.

Everything is new in Washington — ownership, general manager and coach. And there will be a new quarterback, too. Daniels’ dual-threat ability is an ideal fit for new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s version of the Air Raid offense. With back-to-back seasons of over 1,000 rushing yards and a nearly perfect QBR of 99.5 on passes over 20 yards, Daniels would thrive with wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson opening things up down the field. The Commanders will have a tough decision to make between Daniels and North Carolina’s Drake Maye, but I see Daniels as the clear-cut QB2. He is also ready to play immediately after starting 55 games in college; Maye might have more upside, but Daniels is ready to excel right now.

Nabers is starting to see some hype as the top wideout in the draft after turning in a truly impressive pro day that featured a 4.35 40-yard dash and a 42-inch vertical. He’s the second receiver off the board here, joining a Giants team that badly needs offensive weapons.

The Giants’ offense ranked No. 29 in offensive points last season (14 per game), as quarterback Daniel Jones tore the ACL in his right knee and the offensive line surrendered 85 sacks (most in the league). They have already improved the roster by signing offensive linemen Jon Runyan and Jermaine Eluemunor, but the wide receiver room is a little thin. Nabers has electric yards-after-catch speed and a diverse skill set that would work well in conjunction with Jalin Hyatt and Wan’Dale Robinson to give the Giants one of the fastest receiver corps in the league. His 120.7 yards per game led the nation, and his 3.7 yards per route run were second best among all FBS pass-catchers.

Thomas was viewed as a likely late first-round pick earlier in the cycle, but after turning in one of the most impressive receiver combines in recent memory, his stock has risen significantly. Miller has the Cardinals trading up with the Broncos to give Kyler Murray a nice new weapon.

After trading back from No. 4, the Cardinals can still land someone who can become a WR1 and be a top-flight downfield target for quarterback Kyler Murray. Thomas led the nation in receiving touchdowns last season (17) and fills a hole with Marquise Brown off to Kansas City in free agency. Thomas’ vertical speed and catch radius would be great for the Cards, who currently have Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch slotted into the two starting receiver spots.

In large part due to injury, Maason Smith never quite lived up to his five-star billing during his college career. His decision to declare for the draft was a bit of a surprise, but he has potential at the next level. Miller projects he’ll help shore up the defensive line for the Jaguars.

In 2023, the Jaguars finished 25th in the league with just 40 sacks. That has to improve in 2024, which is why adding a game-wrecking defensive tackle in Smith makes sense here. Smith is raw and missed most of the 2022 season with a knee injury that still seemed to affect him early last season, but his combine performance (35-inch vert and a 5.10-second 40) at 6-5 and 306 pounds was a reminder of his talent and potential.

Wingo, who came from Missouri, proved to be one of the most impactful transfers of the Brian Kelly era. He was an impact player at defensive tackle in his two seasons in Baton Rouge, and his injury midway through the 2023 season hurt that unit significantly. He’s a bit undersized at the next level, but Miller has him reuniting with Thomas in Arizona early on Day 3.

An experienced, multi-year starter at center for one of the best offensive lines in the nation, Turner may have helped his odds of getting drafted with a solid performance at the Senior Bowl earlier this offseason. Miller has him joining the Patriots in the middle of the draft’s final round.
