DraftBuzz had him ranked as the #22 WR. But read what they said and you might ask, why so low?

Daniels is the type of receiver who probably won't light up a room during the pre-draft process, but put his tape on and you see a guy who understands how to play the position. His route craft is legitimate. He uses his lower body to deceive defenders, changes pace within his stems, and consistently wins out of breaks with quickness rather than raw speed. The savvy is real, and it shows up week after week regardless of the uniform he's wearing. He's not going to run by NFL corners on go routes, but he'll find ways to get open on the intermediate and short areas of the field where most offenses live anyway.

The concern is always going to be whether his production translates when the competition level rises. His best statistical season came against Conference USA defenses, and the numbers took a noticeable dip at both LSU and Miami. That said, the context matters: he dealt with a foot injury at LSU, was the fourth option in a loaded receiving corps, and still caught 75% of his targets with zero drops. At Miami, he produced a solid 73.8 receiving grade while sharing the field with explosive underclassmen. He's not a guy who needs volume to make an impact. His blocking alone makes him worth a roster spot, and the fact that he ran routes on 96.4% of Miami's pass snaps tells you the coaching staff trusted him completely.

Here's the deal with Daniels: he fits best in an offense that values precision over explosiveness. Concepts built around timing throws, screen packages, and route combinations that create space through design rather than pure athleticism will get the most out of him. He's not going to be a number one target at the next level, but as a complementary piece who can block, move the chains, and give you professional route running from multiple alignments, there's genuine day-two value here. His six years of college experience and the fact that he produced at three different programs show a player who adapts quickly and earns trust wherever he goes. That kind of reliability goes a long way on Sundays.

Productive Failure

Matthew Stafford took his first snaps of training camp Monday. He immediately felt the weight of $100 million in defensive upgrades, from Myles Garrett collapsing his pocket to Trent McDuffie going strike-for-strike with Puka Nacua. Sean McVay watched it all with a smile because "productive...

I look forward to the great work you and @VeteranRamFan do every TC. When I read your reports I hear your voice, its almost like I am right there with you, lol. Hoping to get down there next year so I can be right there with you. First thing I need to do is not burn up all my vacation time being sick. Thank you for all you do for us Rams addicts.

The NFL draft ranks speed the highest for WR's. But that's so, so misleading. It's what brought us Tutu, who just didn't fit our offense.
But this kid does. Konata & J.Whitt are rounding out to be excellent WR3's. But CJ has the potential to be a 2a understudy for Adams, while Konata & J.Whitt don't seem to me to be at that level yet where they could legitimately fill in for one of either Adams or Puka, which is why I think CJ was drafted--with the stacked TE room we have & using 13 sets so much, WR3's aren't going to see the field much.
