Jayden Daniels continues to follow in Joe Burrow’s footsteps, and while he is unlikely to be selected first overall in Thursday’s 2024 NFL Draft, he will almost probably be selected second or third by the Washington Commanders or New England Patriots. What kind of pro will the Heisman Trophy winner become?
That’s the lead topic for host Jim Derry, who invites his old friend Larry Holder of The Athletic to discuss it on Friday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 228) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, would the New Orleans Saints keep to the script and choose a tackle at No. 14, such as Olu Fashanu or JC Latham? Will they move to fill the vacuum in the third and fourth rounds?
Jim begins the broadcast with a couple of anecdotes and provides a prediction for the Pelicans’ do-or-die Play-in game versus the Sacramento Kings, which will be played without Zion Williamson. He concludes the episode with his ‘Extra Point,’ which focuses on another “they did what?!?” moment for the Saints in a previous selection, this time selecting cornerback Alex Molden over Hall of Fame running back Eddie George in 1996.
