New general manager Adam Peters has kept Washington’s plans close to the vest, creating an information vacuum that MUST BE FILLED by outside speculation. Inherently, we’ve spent the past couple months spinning our wheels on this pick, discussing Jayden Daniels and even J.J. McCarthy as possible selections. But what if the initial hypothesis was right all along? What if the tape munchers are over-scrutinizing Maye’s throw-to-throw accuracy. What if the Commanders are quietly smitten with the raw upside of a 21-year-old with prototypical size, athleticism and arm strength? Remember how many people overthought C.J. Stroud in the lead-up to last year’s draft? Could this be déjà vu at No. 2?
Anyone who bet money on Daniels would’ve been better off cuttin checks to United Way. Just saying. It’s always been maye.

Daniels being -300 or more was always a massive mistake. The real indications will be the betting lines around 5 p.m. next Thursday.
If you’re gambling on the draft, get help
All these lines are telling you is that no one knows who they’re picking.
When people know for sure the line will very quickly reflect that, probably at some point draft day morning/ early afternoon
Maye is starting to surge
