It really wouldn't make any sense to finalize a second trade until the targets are on the clock.
It starts at #2. I'm sure Washington will at least take Kwesi's call. It would be negligent not to do so. Nothing about KAM and his drawing lines in the sand suggests he's going to offer some massive overpay that talks the Commanders into doing that deal.
Then it becomes who Washington selects. Daniels fits the Kingsbury scheme better. Maye is by far the Consensus higher graded player. And it's not like he's some statue that can't execute RPOs or isn't a threat in designed QB Runs. He's just not the Elite threat Daniels is.
IF Washington takes Maye, which I think is highly likely, then why wouldn't Kwesi be smart to already be sitting at #3? I legitimately don't think Kevin is all that interested in Jayden Daniels.
Minnesota was 1st in Passes Over the Middle of the Field from 1 to 10 Yards and 2nd in 11-20 yards. Last year Daniels had a whopping 9.3% attempts in that 11-20 window. The year before it was 11.8%. Jayden excels at throwing 20+ yards down the field outside the hashmarks. As does Penix. Those windows just aren't common hallmarks for most NFL Offenses, let alone what O'Connell emphasizes.
Yes, KOC can absolutely adapt his scheme. But is it really worth trading that much capital for a QB that you have to adapt your system to?
The other wildcard is Marvin Harrison Jr. He's the best Player in this Class. About as surefire of a 'next Justin Jefferson' as it gets. Does New England really pass on him and the tremendous value of getting the #1 Player at #3? Talk about getting revenge for all the times Belicheat missed on Receicers in the Draft & FA.
Of course one of Maye & Daniels will be sitting there at #3. It could certainly be difficult for Eliot Wolf to convince Kraft to make him the GM if his first major move running a Draft is to pass on a QBOTF. Sure, their Roster sucks. But they already have a lot of picks. And a Rookie QB can sit behind Brissett instead of being tossed in the deep end ala Fields/Wilson.
The same Harrison Jr. argument applies to Arizona. But they could decide to take two swings at WR if Marvin goes #3. Heck, they could don that regardless.
I believe Kwesi & Eliot have spoken about New England being open for a trade IF Maye is there. And Kwesi & Monti have spoken about the same regarding McCarthy. Doubtlessly also with LAC.
But everything starts once Washington turns in that card. If it's Daniels things get interesting. If it's Maye it's likely a foregone conclusion that the Vikings are moving up to #4 or #5 for McCarthy.
