In recent days, there has been speculation about LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and his interest in playing for the Commanders. Some have suggested that he would like to be reunited with Antonio Pierce at the Raiders. During an appearance on the Nightcap Show with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, Daniels discussed the possibility of ending up in Las Vegas. He mentioned that Pierce is the right coach for the Raiders, citing his intensity and ability to challenge players.
The Raiders would face a significant challenge in moving up from their current No. 13 spot to the No. 2 spot needed to potentially draft Daniels. It is uncertain whether the team will make a serious effort to do so. Whether or not the Raiders pursue Daniels depends on whether the Commanders decide to draft him or if Daniels privately prefers another destination. Regardless, it seems unlikely that Daniels will still be available beyond the third pick in the draft. Whether he is selected by the Commanders, Patriots, or another team that makes a move, Daniels is expected to be off the board quickly.
