It's probably worse than 50/50 he plays even half the games this year. He's missed 37 games to injury over the last 4 years and hasn't played a full season since 2015.
I’d rather give Smith 2-3 year deal than overdraft a LT in the 2nd round or waste assets trading up.
A veteran tackle helps a young QB and also frees those picks up for BPA.

I’m telling y’all. McCarthy is the read deal. Go down to 7 or 8 and take him. Grab a few assets and then get your QB.

NFL Rumors: Drake Maye Favorite for No. 2 Pick in 2024 Draft; Commanders 'High' on QB — Bleacher Report
North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye "should remain the favorite as the second pick" to the Washington Commanders based on opinions around the NFL, according…

2024 NFL Combine results, measurements: QB winners, losers as Jayden Daniels skips, J.J. McCarthy adds weight
Heights, weights and more for the QBs in Indianapolis
www.cbssports.com
Caleb - 6’1 1/8”, 214 lbs (better height than I expected)
Maye - 6’4 3/8”, 223 lbs
McCarthy - 6’2 1/2”, 219 lbs
Daniels declines measurements. Dude probably isn’t 210 lbs. I wonder if he’ll run at his pro day if he’s just trying to gain weight.
Like what I saw from McCarthy today - nice touch and accuracy. He’s an impressive, well-spoken kid as well.

needs that weight gain 5000. but that's not a good look when people think you cant take a hit.
Maye looks beefy

None of them looked impressive to me, quite the opposite. the top 3 were probably smart to skip in all honesty
Just take maye and call it a day. Taking mccarthy would be a mistake

Yea, not a good look at all. Moreover, he left Indy early. Rich Eisen was ripping him for it. Maye, Caleb and JJ have all hung around talking to broadcasters, journalists and team officials.
Caleb was apparently boo’ed loudly by the Indy crowd, lol. Dude is setting himself up as a heel. Vet defenders are gonna try to murder him.

I wouldn't be too worried about any of that. Some of the people being most critical about it were the outlets that didn't get their chance to chat with him. But the people he did talk to seemed to like him plenty...
They both come off well. Maye comes of a bit more canned, winging it but falling back on things you can tell he's said a million times. JD is more casually prepared and natural and comes off humble and mature.
Both seem like good guys. JD impresses me a bit more, but it's marginal. I think this is one of those times where you can see a meaningful age difference and how it's not a bad thing to be a bit older and savvy.
I thought both were pretty good. Maye hung around more so caught a few more on the fly interviews on the NFL combine show. All these kids though have been interviewed a crap ton even as early teenagers.
At this point want to wait till the pro-days before making a final preference.

One thing I noticed was Maye seemed to stumble quite a bit when asked by the sidelines reporter what he needed to work on.
She said something about consistency iirc, and he kind of babbled a bit while trying hard to retain his smile.
You could tell he was struggling for a way to say he was aware of flaws and willing to work on them without drawing too much attention to them.
The result was a confusing jumble of words that ended up being less reassuring than just saying something like "Oh everyone out here has things to work on, we're all rookies! But I believe in myself and will always do my best for whoever picks me." He more or less got there eventually but it was painful.
It was a little awkward and maybe a little unfair, but I'd have thought he and his camp would've prepared a better response going into this.

Totally agree. In JD's short interview above he answered the same question pretty casually and showed humility. Like you said, it's probably just being better prepared for the questions, leading to a bit more comfort and ease.
Not a biggie either way, but JD's definitely a bit more poised. The article linked above about QBs not working out if they're under 205 I think is just one of those quirky little stats that's probably meaningless.
I watched a bunch of the Florio and Simms interviews, so I saw a lot of dudes sitting in the same chair. No question that JD is a narrow dude, but he looked fine. I think part of the issue with him having a strikingly lean build is that he's got a big head.

Bolded I believe they did ask about his weight/frame prep. but he gave the fairly typical he was blessed already with how he was as is.Totally agree.

Damn….I like them both, but Maye just seemed totally at ease to me. Maye was more verbose, engaging….slight edge to DM for me there (but JD did not disappoint).
BOTH have lean arms, upper bodies it looked like, pretty similar thickness (waist up) from what I could see of them seated…
Interesting JD talking about fine tuning his mechanics working with 3D QB. Dreamy mechanics…

Yeah, JD comes out a little ahead in everything I've seen. I've definitely got "Our #2 overalls get beat up and turn into pumpkins" syndrome when I look at him though. No calves, big head... It's like watching a Bobblehead playing Tecmo Bowl.
The thing that really makes me nervous is the *way* he runs. Not his tendencies cuz that can be fixed. But he runs like he's got you beat; like he's sure he's faster than you. And on those rare occasions where he's wrong, the hit is ugly and has "reckless abandon" written all over it.
Griffin gave me PTSD, in other words, cuz he ran that way. Not the style, but the hubris. The "I'mma take it to the house" attitude. Fun to watch, but in the NFL it feels like you're putting your knees on the roulette table every time.
I'd probably take him at #2, but I'm sure I'd have the heebie jeebies for his entire career...

Seriously, who wants to be watching this #2 OA potential franchise changing pick with such bated breath each time he takes off? Yeah he’d be exciting in the beginning but we have enough heart problems just being DC sports fansYeah, JD comes out a little ahead in everything I've seen.

Maye is very country, lol. Seems affable with a good sense of humor. Makes sense he’d feel comfortable working with Eli and Rivers. Watching his tape the past month, his release actually reminds me of Rivers. That high, overhead - almost shot put motion.
I thought JD was a little more shy and soft spoken. They both had their awkward moments over the weekend from what I saw. Nowhere near as comfortable and polished as CW or JJ.
Would have been nice to get a weight on JD. But, not sure there’s much he could do to assuage the RG3 PTSD (or that you’d be drafting skinny Justin Fields at 2OA). Whether or not that’s fair, or smart - it would be hard for me to get over that stylistic bias.

Oh man i would love to get aiyuk. I would trade terry for him but preferably dotson. That’s something i’d use one of the draft picks for in a package, not caleb
