If you want to take safer players over him because you simply -must- hit on base with your premium 1st (let's say you're in a rebuild) then I have no issues with anyone that wants to take Nabors or Marv ahead of him. Even Odunze. I get it.
Caleb is absolutely a safer pick by miles in every way. He's also far more likely to be playing in 10 years time, not even because he's -that- much bigger - but because of the playing style. There's every chance Daniels never learns how to protect himself, and gets demolished in the pros. He might just never translate as a passer, either. You accept that risk with the pick.
But if you're a team that is set to compete in a SF or 2QB - and you've somehow found yourself with a pick in the 1.04-1.07 range, and he somehow falls to you? Don't be "all out" on this guy just because you're scared of the downsides.
He's an elite rushing QB with a very good deep ball - and that's "as-is". He's going to score a -lot- of fantasy points, especially if he lands somewhere with weapons. And if he really hits, and takes the next step as a passer? He's going to help win people a lot of fantasy championships.
Pretty much my feelings. I see Daniels taking the typical “running QB” trajectory, where he lights it up from a fantasy perspective, as long as he stays healthy. Then, round about year three or four his coaching staff goes, “We gotta transition him into more of a passer or he’s going to get killed!”, and then he descends into fantasy mediocrity…
I wonder if for FF purposes comparing CW to Daniels is all that helpful. I can't imagine too many people are debating that choice.
I guess I'd be more curious about the comparison b/w Daniels and Maye. That's a decision someone will be faced with in every league. I'm waiting to see how the NFL views them before I land on it. But in the meantime, would love to hear the thoughts from the Forum.
