NFL Rumors: Drake Maye Wasn't Considered by Commanders for No. 2 Pick in 2024 Draft

The Washington Commanders reportedly weren't considering North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 2 overall draft pick in this year's NFL draft.

"The two quarterbacks they had in consideration at No. 2 were Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy," ESPN's Adam Schefter said Monday during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. "Maye wasn't going No. 2. He was going No. 3 to New England.

Washington ultimately chose Daniels, the defending Heisman Trophy winner out of LSU. And it was apparently an easy decision for the organization.

"We knew it was Jayden for a while, and it would've taken a lot for it to not be Jayden," general manager Adam Peters told reporters on Friday.
