ESPN football analyst Louis Riddick joins the Dan Patrick Show and discusses who he’d want to draft between Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams if he ran the Chicago Bears
You’re running the Bears you’re on the clock what are you doing here we go yep here we go you know what I’ll tell you what man see right here’s what I’m doing if I have all the information like they have and I do believe that it
Wasn’t it it wasn’t only just Luke getsy that led to the underperformance of Justin Fields but I felt as though Justin Fields upside was lower than what I believe Jaden Daniels upside is Jaden Daniel is the guy I’m picking okay every year every quarterback gets a
Week where we we fall in love with them this is this is Jaden Daniels week no no no no no I’ll tell you what I’ll tell you what like last year when the debate was raging about CJ versus Bryce okay and everyone was like Bryce is Magic outside the pocket Bryce is
Magic outside of structure remember remember don’t for don’t worry about this year think about his highman trophy year Bryce Bryce Bryce Bryce Bryce with CJ it was CJ is the guy who just you know he benefited from all the weapons that he has Ohio State quarterbacks
Never turn out right he messed up this whatever test that they gave him in Houston didn’t like him and all this stuff I was one of those people who was like look there’s something about CJ Stout had some of the best throws I have
I have seen in a long long time at Ohio State and the people there who I trust gave me the straight and narrow about it Jaden Daniels the more people I trust are giving me the straight and narrow about him how he’s conducting himself here and the way I watch his progression
From Arizona State to just this past year this Heisman Trophy year this isn’t just all of a sudden where I’m going man you know what I think I kind of like this guy no I’m talking about the media I got you is falling in love not you but
The media now orlovski said oh I would take him number one overall it feels like there’s this weekly moment like next week could be Drake May where people are going to go man Drake May like we tend we tend to do this because we got to have something to talk about
There there are some there are some people in the media and otherwise like Tim Hasselbeck oh yeah swear by Drake May yes swears by him yeah Pon bomb thinks that Drake May is gonna be could be like um Justin Herbert he thinks he reminds him of him um quite honestly
What’s funny is the guy who a year ago people were and even this year to some degree were comparing to C Patrick Mahomes that being Caleb Williams has all of a sudden started to fall out of faor and we haven’t played any games in two months all of a sudden he’s like
Well he’s the third best now that’s how crazy this gets exact it is um but I wonder if you’re the Bears and you really think that Jaden Daniels is equal if not better than Caleb Williams how do you do that how do you play Washington that Washington will will still trade up
To get Caleb we like you can’t tip your hand but you want Washington to give you something to go up to get Caleb Williams even though you may not want to keep that pick uh and take Caleb Williams I think you you know what that’s where you start leveraging
Relationships uh amongst you know the rest of the general managers and you quite honestly you say hey look is there one of these players that you want that you definitely want that you know that you’re going to tell us you’re going to take you’re going to
Tell us who you’re going to take wait so are you with the bear are you still with the Bears I’m saying I’m with the Bears okay so are you saying to Washington if Washington says this because Cliff Kings Berry’s there right and Cliff has coached Caleb yeah and I don’t want
Caleb I mean I take him but I would prefer Jaden and I say hey look who do you want who who are you do and if they called me and said hey look I want we want to get into into the number one spot because we want to draft
Caleb and our Intel tells us you know that you’re you’re considering obviously taking him clearly but we want to make sure we get our guy because that’s who Cliff told us we need to take I’d let him take then I would make the deal especially if in my back
Of my mind I like Jaden anyway so go ahead and take him if you want to assure yourself you can get him go ahead see if I’m I’m Washington I would call your bluff and say you take whoever you want Chicago and we’re going
To take the next guy but if but if you call me no I can’t call you I can’t call you I want you to call me cuz then I have a little bit more leverage if I call you I don’t have leverage that’s true but if you really want Caleb you’ll
Call me I really want him but man consolation I can’t overpay if I think they’re that close I’m not going to overpay we’ve seen too many teams that get desperate and they do that and I I I would not do that that’s true but but you know what here here’s the the only
Thing I would say though is this when you have someone on the inside and let’s just assume that Cliff Kingsbury right now is hammering Dan Quinn and Adam Peter saying Caleb is who we have to have I coached him we can trust him and they’re like well we don’t really know
What Ryan’s gonna do so you know what okay let’s I’ll I’ll give him a call and see you know whether or not we can strike a deal so we can assure ourselves of getting it as soon as they they as soon as my phone rings and I see
It’s Adam Peters I’m going into so what are you calling for bud what do you you want to get up here I’m not giving him any indication on what I’m thinking and it may fall exactly the way I want I get the guy I want and I add some more draft
Picks which would be ideal yeah if you’re the Bears that would be great if if you want Jaden Daniels you want Washington to think you would still take Caleb they’ll trade up you get you get some draft Capital as we like to say but I don’t know yeah I mean and you know
What I’m sure Ryan if let’s assume that Ryan poles would be thinking that I mean that’s why you have to keep it vanilla you have to keep it out you have to constantly put out there that message of we’re considering all options heck we might even just keep Justin fields of
Course we like all the quarterbacks yeah you want to keep it as you want to stay as poker face as possible

ID EASILY WANT JJ MCCARTHY.
Why stay at 1 when u can do so much by trading down to 2, get more draft capital, and still get a game changer QB in Daniels
baby hands Daniels… good luck
Jayden Daniels was great as a freshman I thought he played perfect that season &I'm all in on Daniels being special but I'd still take Drake Maye #1 and Caleb #2 but Jayden Daniels sophomore year &junior year do exist &it's those seasons that give me pause &keep him behind the other two. I expect all three QBs to make the pro-bowl
I didn’t like the Haskins pick from the gate but I let Riddick convince me and make me more comfortable about it. It didn’t take me but a few games to realize my vibes were right. So I’m riding with Dan on this one, stand firm at number 2. I don’t want to give up nothing to move up just one slot…I’m cool with Williams or Daniels.
Dan Patrick ….don’t ever try to run a NFL team.
Daniel to fraile he's going to get rock
Caleb press grown men’s ego it’ll make them deny their own eyes to what they clearly see on the field 😅… Never seen so many grown men intimidated by another grown man..At first it’s keep Justin but now since the writing is on the wall with Justin it’s draft Jaden Daniels 😂Just don’t draft that confident and arrogant kid.Smh Sad
Louis Riddick is a sell out!
The national media absolutely DOES NOT want Caleb in Chicago.
It went from, Don’t give up on fields get the haul for Caleb since he’s a generational talent and people will pay up.
Now it’s Jayden Daniels is the true #1 pick the bears should choose him.
these media guys this week are laughable and dont know ball. Not once for the whole year did they even mention jayden name but out of nowhere with 0 new info. or footage cause the season has been over for 2+ months, they suddenly like jayden. Media is so fake, they just throwing names out there to try to be different to get views.
Washington needs to stay put and keep the pressure on the Bears
Leverage your pick to get more picks! Trade back to number 3 take Marvin Harrison get a OL with the 9th pick get OL and DL in the 2nd round should have 4 top 40 picks in this year’s draft! Plus have $67 million to sign your CB and bring in some veteran Free Agents to sure up this current roster that won 7 games last year with your current QB who missed 4 games because of injury!! Get him some help I don’t care if Williams is better than fields or not! Fields has shown he is good enough and he is getting better!! Get him some weapons and more help! If he doesn’t get the job done this year you haven’t paid him yet so it will be no problem replacing him next year with your number 1 pick from Washington next year! Which should be a top pick since they will have a rookie QB
Don’t compare Bryce to Caleb. It’s not even close. Daniels is also nothing like stroud.
Danies was the man as a true Frosh at ASU
Daniel’s is gonna get broken
Bears better take the best player in the draft. It’s not a QB. It’s Marvin Harrison. He is the one that will be All Pro. Justin has shown people in college what he can do with weapons. He has 5 WRs in the NFL top dudes. DJ had his best year last year. DONT LISTEN TO THIS PROPAGANDA. If you pay attention, they say the same shit every year.
Riddick Marvin Harrison is going to be the best player.
Keyshawn Johnson has had the best opinion in the media on this Caleb Williams Vs Justin Fields topic
As a commanders fan. Let’s stay at 2 and take Jayden.
Kliff Kingsbury hasn't accomplished anything at any level to be able to hammer anyone into a decision on a quarterback
Caleb falling out of favor ?!? 😂😂😂 going 1.01 no matter wat
If the Commanders would give me a haul to swap picks I'm absolutely moving back 1 spot and taking Jayden Daniels at #2. No question.
After free agency Caleb would be nice with the commanders. Even if he’s a bust he would still be surrounded with some pretty good players
Ryan Poles is a nice guy . But sneaky you don't know what he's thinking thats a GM.
As a Redskins fan, I want Daniels.
As a Washington fan, I will take Caleb or Jayden. So I hope Washington doesn't desperately want one more than the other. Keep every draft pick and take the one who falls to them. Honestly, I think I prefer Jayden.
Bears Please take Caleb !! When did the Bears have a top QB ? Sid Luckman 1940's Let not go to the Century Mark.. hahahaha
God this reminds me so much of Andrew Luck vs RG3
I prefer jayden, but sad that the fields trade happened and we are most likely not going for marvin harrison jr who was my most preferred
WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY WANT JAYDEN DANIELS WHEN THEY ALREADY HAD FIELDS?
It is already done deal that is why Washingon has traded Sam Howell and Chicago traded Justin it will be announced draft day.
Louis Riddick !!? I agree with you 110% !!! I am not in the CW #13 boat, I've watched tapes and some games on him. Don't think he's a starter, he's a sitter for a season. Jayden Daniels #5, that's the young man I can start and get positive feed back after his first 6 games in to the season. Every college rookie will need some "clean up" work or need to FOR SURE ' sit time' to see the structure and momentum of the Offense. I'm picking #5 JAYDEN DANIELS FROM LSU !!! BEAR DOWN !!!
I can understand why he would say what he is saying, but if Caleb would have been able to go pro last year…I doubt he would be telling us he'd take Stroud or Daniels over Williams. 😐
caleb williams: 31 college games, 33 fumbles , 83 sacks. he is a smaller slower version of Justin Fields without the humility
As a Skins fan we kinda in a win win situation at #2😂❤
both of these guys are Bear haters Washington deserves nothing more than anyone else. You want Washington to take Caleb you are scared to death,
No Washington is happy sitting there at 2 they are in an excellent position
Louis Riddick sitting there looking like Eddie Murphy.
No one talked about Daniels being a top pick last year. Caleb has been mentioned as the top pick last year and this year. Ay ay ay
Jayden played against tougher competition than Caleb
This is science fiction. The Mandos aren't trading anything to move up. If Caleb falls, he falls. Bears gave up Fields for a ham sandwich, and you think they're going to fleece Adam Peters? 😂
Ryan Poles is gonna draft Calleb Williams 100% i wouldnt dare take jaden Daniels over Calleb Williams jaden is to skinny he plays like justin fields runs to much and one hit he gonna be out of the game hurt miasing games noway
I respect the hell out of Louis Riddick. I’ve always loved him and when he talks I listen. Big fan but we disagree here.
RG3 says Caleb should demand to not be drafted by Chicago but be drafted by Washington 😂
I want Daniels for the bears ! We shall see.
